Would it kill the Telegraph to publish a picture?

I would love to see pictures! My husband and I own an old ranch in the California mountains. We have an orchard of heirloom apples. Planted 100 years ago, we still haven't identified all of the varieties of apples we grow yet.

Unfortunately, most pomologists are into fruit!

Get over it. It was a great pic and I would be fine with my 8 & 9 yr old boys seeing it.

My kids were interested in this new species...but the jerk you are applauding means I can't let them read this thread.
Grow up!

From the standpoint of PoMo, I'm not sure that we can say that the apple actually has an objective reality, and may not really exist at all.

You're a jerk. My kids read FR. Sorry. I thought it was G-rated. Nothing you wouldn't see on network TV after Noon on any given Saturday or Sunday.
I saw Pomologist and immediately thought that Pompomologist could be used to describe a cheerleader. It seemed original.
Oh well, I can't win them all.

"But if you like a sharp and crisp taste"
It sounds like a winesap.
Winesaps makes the best apple pie and I like them raw also!
