@darius I'm rather partial to Gravenstein, but part of that is because it makes great cider, and I have 2 batches from fresh-crushing fermenting now.

@darius hopefully, with the addition of fresh cashmere hops while fermenting, part of the batch will be even better than normal. last year was not a good year for the tree, this year has bounced back nicely. @jerrysv apparently the gravenstein is more or less biennial: it often, but not always, bears fruit every other year. Which made me a lot better about my tree. @darius huh interesting, thanks for sharing! I knew about its pollination issues, though. |
@jerrysv I have a gravenstein in my yard - most of them went bad because they all ripen the same week and I was traveling :(
But I agree I think they are delicious
