My little apple tree produces pretty big apples every year, but this has got to be it's biggest ever: 4 inches across: This is my giant apple next to an apple that is the size of one you would buy in a store:
They really are huge aren't they? That one's the size of a cooking apple. Do they have a different taste to them? I hear the really small ones are sweeter so I was just wondering if the bigger ones taste different as well.
Hindleyite, I'm not sure what kind of apple it is, but I think it's a King apple which is raised for making cider. These huge apples are extremely juicy and very sweet for such large apples.
WOW that's a Monster. I"m hoping my apple trees will start producing soon. I only planted them two years ago except one that I planted last year. Do you have other fruit trees? I also have cherry, Asian pear, peach and mulberry trees.
I'm a mom and wife who loves to eat, dine, cook and grow her own food. I find a good recipe book as entertaining as a novel, and I feel most accomplished when I've managed to successfully grow and preserve my own food. I am, undoubtedly, an Ignorant Gardener, but I love to give it my best shot and revel in my successes. I find absolute Delight in being an Omnivore and will attempt to cook and eat just about anything (almost). As I fumble my way through my garden and kitchen, and occasionally find my way into a restaurant to enjoy someone else cook for me, I'll write about the mishaps successes, and pleasures of eating along the way.
