I imagine the skin becomes a bit tougher (and waxier) in storage.<br /><br />It's interesting to know that they keep well through November. I wouldn't mind one or two in the mix around now.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-72001005417717610362010-11-18T20:57:33.643-05:002010-11-18T20:57:33.643-05:00I picked up some Golden Supreme apples today.

All of the larger ripe fruit have lenticels and look exactly like your photo. I noticed that the smaller, greener apples in the lot lacked the lenticels.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-39917983169515670692010-09-26T22:14:34.318-04:002010-09-26T22:14:34.318-04:00Well, in my case it's not just a trick of the ...Well, in my case it's not just a trick of the light. I think the darker spots may be russet or something similar in the lenticels.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-8458900681910728362010-09-26T10:30:14.350-04:002010-09-26T10:30:14.350-04:00Mine don't have lenticels that are that pronou...Mine don't have lenticels that are that pronounced, though in viewing a second time I do believe that might be an effect of light or camera angle. Mine are a little taller (a "type" associated with Washington State apples), a smoother finish (again typical of WA) and have a beautiful pink blush on most apples grown on open pruned trees.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-87691023375882730622010-09-22T22:43:48.763-04:002010-09-22T22:43:48.763-04:00This was not an anomalous example of the batch I h...This was not an anomalous example of the batch I had to chose from. It is interesting how different conditions can produce different-looking (and -tasting) fruits.<br /><br />What do yours usually look like?<br /><br />I agree with your qualitative assessment.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-73060858767366944912010-09-22T17:49:46.016-04:002010-09-22T17:49:46.016-04:00I have grown GS for about twenty years.

I think they are a pleasant apple, but nothing truly exceptional.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
