RE: Am I Growing The World's Most Red Apples? They Look More Like Meat Than Apples!

in #food7 years ago (edited)

hehe - well, it is possible you could take a graft from my tree when it is a bit more established, but I am in England here and I don't think there's a direct bus from Bali :)

Yes, all apple trees are classified by the geographical zone that they will grow in. The other tree that I am growing here is called 'Bright Future' and I picked it because it is the closest one I can grow in England to the 'Pink Lady' variety that is imported here from warmer areas.

There is a website that lists the genetic heritage of many varieties of apples, but I wasn't able to find it just now. If you can find it then you will be able to see whether Rosette will grown in Bali and also if it can't then you will be able to find similar varieties that will grow there - very useful! I'll be picking some from my bright future tree in the next few weeks, so I'll find out how accurate the advice was from that site - so far they do look quite similar to pink lady. :)

Sort:  

Well, next time I am in England, I will make sure to take you up on that. I am sure customs will just love it ;)

I love the Pink Lady apples, I am interested to hear how this other variety compares (I love their names, I wonder who names all the species!)

I will have to look it up, you bring up a good point that I might be too tropical to get what I am after. Thanks for the tips, I sure do appreciate them :)
