["kieran or donna" <redherring@tnaccess.com>]

Someone asked about this one last year, and I responded that I knew of a
tree and had grafted from it because I liked it so well.  It doesn't come in
till early August here if I remember correctly, a lot later than
Transparent, but is very nice for dessert, pies, and drying.  Doesn't get
mushy like so many early apples, and a good sweet/tart flavor.(Someone
mentioned they don't like tart apples, and liked Gala best.  I find Gala
extremely boring.)  Is anyone else familiar with this variety?  I'd rather
know it's weaknesses now than later.
