Dense & dry-- agree. I thought perhaps this was due to the dry year here-- it was my trees' first fruiting. I'd read that T.S. was used for cider and I said "Huh?!" If you got enough of them ground up well enough & squeezed, you would get some very sweet juice to add to tart & tannin apples. (Also, I read somewhere that T.S. was used as animal feed. I think these COULD be too much of a good thing, and I could end up feeding these to stock.)

I posted "not crisp", should have added dense/ tough.

I used to get Tolmans at an orchard in SW Wisconsin.
I agree, I don't think they are for everyone. Those
apples were really sweet but very dense and dry - not
very juicy. While I wouldn't say the flavor is real
complex either, I think it's a lot better than a red
delicious.
