Living in east TN about 25 years ago I kept hearing people talk about the
old 'Rusty Coat' apple and how much they liked them. I never got my hands
on one till we visited Jeff Poppen's place one fall and he had some from a
tree he'd grafted. They were awful. He said he only knew one person who
liked them. Maybe he'd only found a seedling from one of the real thing.
Interesting. I'd been just about to throw out a question about 'Rusty Coat', as I'd not seen it mentioned in this discussion on russets.
I had it, years ago, when I had 'antique-itis' as Ed or Don termed it. It never survived my (mis)management long enough o fruit. Scions came from Tim Hensley's Urban Orchard Nursery, if I remember correctly.
