Alan, check out the thread on that topic going now –
Re: Wickson, I don’t know if I have heard a strong positive on anyone growing it for 5+ years that is not in the northern tier or western US. Yes it tastes very unusual but you need massive yellowjacket traps, splitting, it gets extreme CAR, etc etc. Not a good apple for most of the US. I loved it for a few years due to the unique flavor but every year it got less interesting as I fought with it, and I finally took it out.
Hey @derekamills, put up your taste test results here! Enquiring minds want to know!
