Well there I went ordering another tree. I promised myself no more trees this year.

I ordered a Crimea Quince too. Shipping was the same either way and I don’t have any Quince yet.

Im in Philly burbs like you (Jenkintown), prob tried 11 quince trees. Still have 4 left in not-great locations in the yard. You may want one with more disease resistance. Although those tender varieties are nicceeee (I try to import them every year to try them).

I found a Lucy Glo apple that had probably been in the back of this fridge drawer for well over a month, hiding behind some carrots that I finally just pulled out of the way. I was expecting complete mush, but even though it was mealy, it was a strangely crisp mealiness (does that even make sense?). And yes, if you’re having deja vu, this is the second time this happened to me this year, but this one sat quite a bit longer.
However, it had changed color inside and lost all tartness entirely. It was just a sweet, somewhat bland flavor. I still ate the whole thing, though. It was plenty juicy.

I would definitely eaten it too, in the name of science. 
Did you save any of those lovely seeds? We put the last apples we found at sprout’s, loose in a pot and left it all winter in the aquarium hot house. They popped up this week…
And the ones we forced indoor around Christmas. Still one pretty rosy one.
I grafted a mountain rose snippet to my Lucy glow tree.

Not this time! I did the last time I found one neglected in the fridge, though, and got two seedlings from those so far, one more reddish than the other:
Looks like a slug or earwig took a nibble out of the second one’s cotyledon.

I know exactly what you mean about the texture. I’ve experienced it too. In fact, I think I probably have a couple still in the crisper since I’ve been eating Evercrisp and Wild Twist.
Received a Lucy Glo tree today from OneGreen World. It is a nice size with good roots. Ordered it a few weeks ago after Gurneys sent me a refund for one I had ordered last fall.

Good to hear they’re sending nice trees. OGW sent me an email that mine is being shipped out either today or yesterday. Soon I’ll be a red-apple-quince-man!

I got mine today, too! It looks like a very healthy tree and pretty thick diameter with decent roots. They topped it a little over 3 ft tall. Looks very dormant still. I’ll try to share a photo when I plant it tomorrow or the next day.

I grew out a whole bunch of the seeds. Culled about half that weren’t showing much red in the stems because I was too lazy to up-pot them at the time. They obviously could use a larger pot again now.
They got a little overwatered, I think.

My order from One Green World says pending shipping. I live less than 25 miles away.

Just planted mine. In the light of day, I see what looks like a knife slipped when removing grafting tape, partially girdling the tree just above the graft (which looks like it was budded). Hopefully it’ll heal fine!

I got a fedex notice that mine will arrive today. Yay! Now I have to figure out or remember where I’m going to put it. I still have a stump to grind on a hillside to free up a couple of planting places.

I could be wrong, but trees like lucy glo, which have green or yellow skin, may not have red leaves or stems in their seedling stage because of their anthocyanin expression becoming more complicated from the recessive gene that makes the skin not produce red color. I had a hard time finding information on this, but the mechanisms for color expression do interact with this gene. They should still have pink blossoms. I have seen a few videos of pink pearl apples being picked and tested, and in the spring the trees did not have red leaves or wood.

The patent says you are right! Lucy Glo is Howell TC3, so here’s the relevant table from the patent:

I can confirm that Lucy Glo has green leaves, it also doesn’t have red wood either. If all goes well it should bear fruit for me this year.

That’s a great point. I was thinking something similar but hadn’t distilled the thought enough to post coherently about it.
I have the pigment-fleshed parent of Lucy Glo, Aerlie’s Red Flesh or Hidden Rose. I don’t think its stems or leaves have noticeable red.
