My fruit group's fearless leader just sent me a link for this amazing apple:
the Uttwiler Spätlauber. Apparently it is a gene bank miracle story with the
one-of-a-kind apple being saved from extinction only to be discovered as a
beauty product used by the rich and famouse (the article cites Michelle Obama
as a fan).

Being on the down hill side of beauty myself, anyone know of a North American
source for this variety? lol
