Responding to someone's probable imposter North Star Cherry, Pete Tallman
said, "I suspect you might have an imposter."
Imposters are out there. Once, when I was selling "Duchess" apples at a
farmers' market, an apple expert told me, "That doesn't look like a
Duchess." My response to him was, "When a nursery sells me a tree, I'm
going to call it by the same name as the nursery said it to be."
About a dozen years ago I bought a Mantet apple. I know what the fruit
is supposed to look and taste like and am convinced I received the rootstock
tree instead.
