It is one of those last gorgeous days of October, and post-harvest horticulturist John Fellman is leading me through the variety block of WSU's Tukey Orchard, 392 trees of 97 different varieties: Sungold, Berry, Opalescence, Grimes Golden. Imperial Red Gala, Golden Russet, Spokane Beauty. Twenty Ounce (so named because a single apple can weigh 20 ounces). Melrose, Winter Banana, Jonathan, Baldwin, Ben Davis, Ganno, King David. Gallia Beauty. Jonagold, Macoun, Turley. Wolf River (which Fellman is interested in because it doesn't scald in storage), Jubilee, Braeburn.The tastes are doing extraordinary things to my nose and taste buds. We are in apple heaven. |
