The Red Prince looks like a red delicious apple, and tastes a bit like one, sweet, but the flesh is more like a Macintosh - I find the Delicious skin a bit woody and not to my taste, but the RP seems okay so far. I think they used Empires or Cortlands for the hybrid. A lovely apple. Maybe you can find some near you.Barbara Selkirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00205002207202871886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201308024297390825.post-84274671975813811892011-07-07T19:13:55.408-04:002011-07-07T19:13:55.408-04:00Loved the "fruition" pun.

Interested to see how it tastes!Wild_Billhttp://www.wildramblings.comnoreply@blogger.com
