Title: Re: [NAFEX] Re: Bramley - Are the English crazy?
Here in western Oregon, with a climate similar to England, Bramley is a really good cooking apple that keeps very well if you pick it  green.  If you wait for it to get full color, with stripes, it's keeping ability goes down.  For a freshly picked cooking apple I would rather have Gravenstein, but a well stored Bramley is a very decent cooker for applesauce.

According to websites in England the Bramley is "God's personal gift to
them".

And I found another website where the English did a taste test of Apple
pie and Bramley (what else) won. So perhaps it's best qualities come out
in certain climates. They do not claim it to be a good fresh eating
apple. I unfortunately live in a very different cliimate. Zone 3
