Adam's Apples

In Derek Mills' opinion, there was something off about my 2015 description of the Cornish Aromatic .  ¶  So he reached into his living museum of 1,600 apple varieties , sent me two Aromatics, and asked me to try again. Happy to oblige.

What a wonderful name for a fragrant apple. My lovely Cornish Aromatic is quite big, ribbed and broad and a little tapered. It's got a very pretty translucent orange blush with darker red streaks in it. It seems clear that the unblushed color would be yellow if we could see it, which we nearly can where the blush is thinnest. All that is spangled with many large distinct tan lenticels. Look at it, like a huge round strawberry. I find it very handsome.
