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?

Lynda,

There are a number of Pippin varieties. I think the one you describe is also known as Newton or Newtown Apples. Good luck on finding trees.
