A co-worker recently brought a couple of Nittany and Mountaineer apples
in for a 'taste test' at morning break - she'd purchased them at a whole
foods store in Nashville. I'm not sure where these were grown.
Nittany was well-received by all who sampled it, and got the nod,
unanimously, over Mountaineer.  Mountaineer was OK, but less
flavorful, with low acid content.  Both were nice, crisp-fleshed
fruits.

     It originated from PennState University many years back.  It is either a cross with York Imperial (or, more likely a chance seedling from York).  And I should say it is a far better apple than York.

Hi all. Just back from another trip to WV and stopped at a roadside

stand. Had a Nittany apple--very large, MacIntosh texture and flavor.

Picked early/mid-Oct.

Does anyone know anything about this apple?  It was great for eating,

although I probably should have waited until I wasn't driving as I had

juice all down my hand and wrist.
