There's that old thing about where you grow a variety. Here in the NW, Lodi
is essentially a larger, slightly later Yellow Transparent. Yellow
Transparent here is mainly for first of the season sauce, so Lodi is a fifth
wheel at that time. And while YT is nice, at the time it comes in, we have
so much other fruit, applesauce seems redundant. The real sauce apple here
is Gravenstein.
