Lon,
Is the Coconut Crunch apple available from any nursery? Do you know how
this variety was developed?

Garfield Shults, Homedale, ID. has developed an apple called Coconut
Crunch that is extremely long keeping. They are still in prime condition
when the new crop comes in, and from what I've seen, might keep as long
as the Hambledon Deux Ans. I haven't tasted that many yet, but they
really do have a coconut-like aftertaste.
