Adam's Apples

These two apples, though very different, share many characteristics. Thus this taste test. Other than size—both are small, though not crabs—these do not look much alike.

The originator of this apple, Joel LaValley of Amnicon Apples , suspects it is a seedling of Red Delicious ("but much better"). It has a good bit of the Red D conical taper, and some ribbing. The streaky red color, where it covers the green-yellow, is purer than Delicious's purple-tinged hue, and there are many light tan lenticel dots prominent in the blush. My samples are small and medium-sized. Now let's see about that "much better" part.
