Yet another confirmation, Charlotte, of location, location, location.   
We can't adequately ripen  Ashmead's or Albermarle here; and E. Spitz,  
though wonderful, reaches its potential in perhaps one out of five  
years. Roxbury Russet produces annual crops of very small, uneventful  
apples, despite aggressive thinning, whereas  Karmijn, on the other  
hand, is an annual/consistent winner. No universal truths in this  
business: makes life interesting, don't you think?
