'Snow' apple for example. Nice crisp (delicate, not "crunchy") and very
tastey off
the tree, but looses all flavor quickly and most of the texture in storage.
Acts
like a summer apple, tho ripe in mid-Oct.
At least, that's what my "Snow" apple does. There's always they chance it's
something mis-labelled.
I agree I think some of the "12-hour" summer apples would keep a while if we
chilled
them down right away. Some people want a deck w/ a hot-tub; I want a
fruit-storage
cooler.
Interesting-- med-late dessert apple which doesn't keep well: Tolman Sweet
