I always like his comments about refrigerator flavor. I wonder if mine will taste like beer and old pizza?

He always appears to present an unbiased opinion. Makes me want to add a third Goldrush tree. Now I’m heading to the refrigerator to see if I have any more of these scions to graft.
I like Pink Lady as well as Goldrush but I never see it listed as disease resistant.
I am still pulling Goldrush and Pink Lady out of the fridge stored in bags. Both still are holding up well and taste great, drying them now as Skillcult suggested sounds like a great idea.
Had to buy the Pink Ladies from a local orchard after my PL trees bit the dust from fb.

@skillcult should throw some of that biochar into a bowl and into the fridge with his apples. 
That could help with the refrigerator taint. Backyard activated carbon… ha! (Though true activated carbon is treated at high temperatures with steam to get to the “activated” part.)

If I was that organized, I’d probably just clean my fridge lol. I think that is a cool idea. I’m thinking, some kind of convenient container that a person could refill with charcoal every once in a while. Like everytime you clean the fridge, so for me, once a year whether it needs it or not!

That’s bad news. Another late hanging long keeping favorite of mine is Lady Williams, a parent of pink lady. I hope it’s not especially susceptible too.

I only had a few on my trees and I bought extras in North Ga. This year is looking better for my GR.
I still have Goldrush in my bsmt fridge cooler from October … a little wrinkled but intensely flavorful…
the founder of our orchard club, MidFEx, has a famous quote “Every home orchardist should have at least one Goldrush”
