I think all laws should be given a sunset provision with strict performance 
points for renewal.

Well, we have put in 11 new trees and I'm ordering some more.  The apples we 
have so far are Fuji, Gala, Red Gravenstein, Golden Delicious (youngest 
"personal" apple tree) and an Anna which was free.

I am ordering a Liberty, a Sierra Beauty, a Granny Smith and a Cameo.

DH and I love our apples *really* crisp, firm and preferably TART!  The 
Cameo is an exception to our rule although it is *really* crisp and firm, it 
is a sweet apple but not overly sugary.

Many long years ago, 30 plus to be exact, we used to buy an apple at the 
grocery stores called an Oregon Pippin.  It was small, hard, crisp and tart. 
I loved them.  Now I can't find hide nor hair of them.  Or should I say, 
skin or seed of them <g>

I would kill to find such a tree.  Anyone know if they had another *real* 
name or any ideas on how to find this critter?
