Hello,

I grow Court Pendu Plat which is reputed by some to be an ancient Roman  
apple.

It is not nealy at all.  Keeps very well.

Red Delicious, now there is a crummy, very popular apple, that I consider  
mealy, or at least odd in texture.  Many (most) apples taste better than  
Red Delicous.  But ohhh does it have eye appeal in the market.

Later,
Tom
