I never pass judgement on an apple (or other fruit, or garden vegetable 
variety) on just one year's experience.  I find that the weather and plant 
maturity make too much differnce.  Garden vegetables I will usually grow for 
3 years before deciding not to grow a variety again, and I have noticed that 
the first year fruiting of an apple may not be as good as later years.
Just my opinion, not worth 2 cents.

where we finally got our a rainfall of over  a tenth of an inch, the first 
since July 15th.

        Anyone have better luck with this apple? I got the scionwood from 
Richard
        Fahey, fruited it this year, the two apples, eaten one too late with 
very
        poor texture and the other about right. Both were devoid of flavor or 
aroma
        of any kind, I was amazed that an apple could be that flavorless. It 
didn't
        seem to contain any acidity at all which I expected but it seemed 
very low
        in sugar also. Nor was it very crisp and very little juice. It only 
got
        about six hours of sun though, I wonder if that might have affected 
its
        flavor. A shame as it is a large beautiful apple, ribbed like a 
pumpkin,
        greenish skin.
