I grew up in southern Ohio, Jackson County, where ther a lot of apple orchards. In the fall many people took vacation and older school children were allowed out of school to pick the apple crop. I remember my parents bringing home what seemed like the biggest and best apples I ever ate. There is a week long Apple Festival in the city of Jackson every September. It was one of the highlights of the year for my childhood. I still eat a Gala nearly every day. Interesting article and causes me to want to do more research on the subject.

In response to John Gerard:

She sculpted apples. If you try to eat her apples, you would probably break your teeth. So, you should never try to eat them. :)

I returned to N. Ohio recently for my sister’s funeral. While there, I stopped at a farm market and bought some of the best apple cider I’ve had in a long time, and the apple varieties available, while mostly familiar, also tasted much better than the ones I get in Miami, FL. Apples and mangos are similar in that neither grows true from seed, but planting seeds are the only way to get new varieties, and to do that, you need a lot of time and land.

I have to bite into a lot of apples before I find one that tastes even a fraction as good as apples I grew up with in the 50s and 60s from rural Illinois orchards. I left Illinois to teach in southwestern Ontario, Canada and found the very best apples, can’t even remember the correct spelling but I think they were spelled this way: McCoun. Oh my, how I’ve wished, yearned, longed for those McCouns, so absolutely delicious in every way. By the way, when my Mother was carrying me she ate so many Jonathon apples that she was going to name me Jonathon if I was a boy (sorry Mom), but when I was pregnant I too ate a lot of apples and gave my son the middle name Jonathon when I had him.

You should never eat ceramic apples. That was apparent from the git-go. How did you not get that?

I love apples, but their breeding is a mystery to me, too.
The varieties she’s sculpted are truly captivating – I never knew there was such diversity!
