Greetings,
    For those interested in learning the identification of the "Himmel
Stally" apple for which I sought help recently, I have just received a
message from the lady in Sweden with a positive identification. Following is
a copy of the note received:

    <<The name of the apple is HIMMELSTALUND and it is a Swedish apple.
Grows strongly and gets a round crown. Zone I-III. Fertile from the fifth
year.  It's a table apple that is harvested from the end of October. Fruit
is middle big. Colour yellow-green with stripes or flames of red on the
sunny side. The pulp is yellow-white, juicy, with delightful acid and aroma.
Can be stored for some month. Pollinates with Oranie, Åkerö, Ringstad.>>

    You learn something new everyday!
                                                Ron
