Hello all:

     At a recent grafting seminar I saw scion wood for an apple named "Goof".  I was supposedly sold by Bear Creek when it was in operation. Can anyone provide any information about the apple? It is not listed in any of the reference books I have.

     I also obtained scion wood for three English redflesh apples-George's Red, Merton's Knave and Red Devil.  A google search came up with some pictures but not much else.  Does anyone have any information about these apples, eg., size, taste,  texture, ripening dates, etc.?  Thanks.
