I'd be more impressed if more had been said about the fruit quality beyond
"good to eat." However perhaps the reported disease resistance will be
borne out and this apple may prove to be useful in future.

Perhaps also someone will be moved to produce a list of Welsh heritage
apples of quality which I suspect would take a lot of the momentum out of
the "Bardsey apple" phenomenom.
