Sounds like you’re an apple grower...Maybe you know what’s happened to Jonathan apples? My late wife made incredible apple pies with Jonathans, but lately they’re about impossible to come by...One story I was told is the Jonathan orchards have (mostly) been torn out and replaced with the new patent apple varieties like Honey Crisp...More profitable...

We still have them around here (Michigan) although not in our orchard currently. They can get fire blight and scab where the Honeycrisp trees are more resilient so that may be a factor.
