I have an unknown apple that I picked up as budwood in the Hudson Valley 20+ 
years ago. After a long survey, and aided by an almost perfect fall ripening 
season this year, I'm thinking the identity may be Newtown Spitzenburg. This 
would be consistent with the location I originally gathered the variety (long 
story for another time) and with all of the descriptions and pictures I have 
been able to find. Ripening at the end of October, which is rarely possible 
for me, it has been really delicious eating this year. I sent a few inquiries 
out but no luck yet, so I'm throwing this out to the NAFEX list for any 
opinions in case someone knows the apple.
