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.
