Very large fruit -- greenish, not attractive. Productive. Fire blight susceptible.. BEN DAVIS Another old processor -- there were a million Ben Davis trees in Dad's area back in the hills of Southern Illinois 60 years ago!! Very dry, hard -- makes a brilliant yellow sauce. GRANNY SMITH Australia's famous green apple. An excellent processor. Tree is somewhat compact. On Malling 9 and Malling 7 for 2008 NITTANY A daughter of York Imperial -- much like her mother, but better is about every respect. Nittany is slightly larger, not quite so lop-sided, a little less sensitive to fire blight, slower browning, better keeper. Much less prone to internal corking, the major problem with York. An excellent processor, comparable to York, and I think a really good eating apple. SOLD OUT FOR 2008
