Claude (and Lisa to a lesser extent, because I can't send you grafting wood across the
border), I have had trees which were labelled Foxwhelp for a number of years,
(unfortunately, so long ago that I have lost the original origin). I never thought to look more
closely at my apples, and now there are none to look at, because they are all in my cyder.
My "Foxwhelps" ripen in mid-September, (not October), but are small, and as I remember
bright red, and certainly resemble the picture of Foxwhelp in Joan Morgan's book (The Book
of Apples). I may actually have genuine Foxwhelp, (but would want to verify this more
specifically next season before swearing to it). I would be happy to send you scions if you in
fact do not have the real thing. (I also have a number of other cyder varieties if you are into
making cyder, including a couple of French ones (Frequin Tardif, Pomme Gris, Marechal,
Mantet)
