Yes because most of them are on full sun and the bags are transparent…
Casa Nova de Alcobaça
Is a local variety of my area. Very old and rare, they got almost extinct substituted by modern varieties… Terrific mistake because they are big, beautiful, not much sweet but equilibrated, refreshing and between soft and crunchy texture. Very white flesh and some pink bellow the skin… Just lovely!
Amazing that you get apples like that with no spraying!
Thanks! They are really beautifull… i think it’s because this is an apple production area. They really like our maritime air, some altitude, cold on winter and hot temp on summer… It’s not so good for citrus.
Fantastic display Luis! I am shocked how beautiful your fruit is with NO SPRAYING!!! Simply amazing.
I am looking forward to your review for WineCrisp, since this is a variety I have arriving as a standalone tree on G.890 next spring. I will also be looking to add a few graft varieties to a crabapple that I have at the edge of my property. I’m thinking Roxbury Russet and some other variety TBD.
In the meantime I will live vicariously through you and your experiences. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you soo much for your support words! As i said i think it’s my area weather that apples like… and another important thing is the baging of fruit. But i don’t see important issues on apples… my soil is limestone.
Regarding WineCrisp i really hope everything will go alright! The tree will be very small as it will came from UK by mail… i’m doing my best!
Aha!
If i don’t bag birds will eat everything…
Sub-tropicals
Musa Helen’s hybrid is not sub-tropical?
USDA zone 7 is subtropical.
Oh ok… i always use this term to more cold hardy fruits that grow on tropical countries like araça, jabuticaba, lychee, pitanga etc…
In English, the term is near-tropical.
Ok, thanks! It’s the first time i heard it…
