First taste: Pixie Crunch ready today

We’d never had this apple before today and my wife and I agreed that it is really quite good. Ours is sharp/sweet, good flavor if not terribly complex, attractive red over yellow/green. They are small, of course, but a there’s lot in that package.

For some reason I had expected it to be an early apple, but it’s actually midseason, after the last of the Liberty, about the same as Prairie Spy, a little ahead of Yellow Delicious. Jonagold, Rubinette, Karmijn d’ Sonneville, Carousel, Montana Red, Supreme, Haralson, and Stayman Winesap. Wife says we have to keep it, and that’s a good sign. : -)

Awesome maybe mine will produce next year. My dad has had a pixie crunch tree for over ten years now but this was the first year it produced but all the apples fell off before they were ripe. I got to eat one that was not completely ripe but it was very good.
