more about the cameo apple
alan,i am quite fond of the cameo apple
its shortcoming is that it becomes greasy toward the end of its time,
kinda like a granny, but it is very flavorful and customers have
responded very well to it
not my prettiest apple this year, color in general rather unimpressive
-without direct sunlight (apples shaded by the tree canope), color is
dull, but not the flavor
