Hi Martha,
I have had some interest in the "red fleshed" apples although most of them
seem pretty tart to me. If you haven't seen Greenmantle's website on their
Rosetta collection you might want to take a look, http://www.greenmantlenursery.com/fruit/rosetta-apples.htm.
I have the Arlie's Red Flesh, Hidden Rose, Pink Pearl, Mott's Pink, and at one
time I had Alamata but it never grew right for me. I also have the Rubiyat
which hasn't fruited yet. Besides being too tart for me they tend to be
scab susceptible. Here in western Washington we need varieties that are
resistant to scab. They do make beautiful applesauce too. Pink Pearl
is the best one of the bunch that I have grown.
The Arlie's Red Flesh and the Hidden Rose that I have are entirely
different. The Arlie's Red Flesh is bright red like the picture of
Niedzwetzkyana on Greenmantle's site.
