This apple is past its prime, with a bit of give and some small wrinkles on one side. Nonetheless, my approach is to taste first and hope for a better sample next year. There may not be a next year for this apple, as it is under development by the Midwest Apple Improvement Assiciation and is not guaranteed to make the cut. But if "test 14" does make it into an orchard near you (with a catchier name), then you read about it here first.
