I am a big fan of crabapples, they are normally sweeter than large apples (same thing with kiwis, smaller but sweeter). At risk of losing my credibility as an apple taster, I have to say that the best apple I've ever had is not an Ashmead's, nor a Cox Orange or anything fancy but rather, now brace yourselves: a Whitney Crab. For about 5 days they are the best tasting, rich, sweet,tangy yellow fleshed morsels I've had in the apple genus. Wickson Crab is said to have more sugar than any other apple, but as crabs go I'll bet is just a little above average. I will have to get my hydrometer out next year and test the Whitneys. I'll bet they're up there near 18- 20 percent (yes I know your average hydrometer is calibrated for grapes, yet still I persist don't I?)
Dell, I seem to have misplaced your email address, you wanted me to let you know when my website would be up. Well, its up:
