Deb, Sorry to go the long way 'round, but I lost your original message. I haven't yet tried Duchess of Oldenburg, which is early and hardy, but want to incorporate it into my yard specifically for pies and such. Nor have I tried Erwin Baur or Edward VII, but have encountered folks saying they are superior for cooking (EB only a medium size apple; ED7 bigger). It'll be some years before I can tell you how they do here. I've found an orchard halfway across WA where I can get ahold of these; hope to do just that in the coming weeks.
