Interesting! I’ve never had one before, googled it and they sound amazing

Nice! I read not too long ago about a town that provided (and was promoted tourist wise) as the place that the Original apple variety was grown.... GMO and breed creation within a species is something I find really interesting and we have the most publicly available information regarding vegetation as opposed to animals. Nice find!

They've got the wrong description for red delicious.

In the Netherlands, it's about the default apple, and a third of the price of many other cultivars.

And that is just a small sample of the different types of apples

Why'd they bother with other apples when Pink Lady is there?

Spoken like someone who’s never had a cosmic crisp

I'll admit to that.
I've just tried so many apples over my life, and nothing ever came close to being as good as Pink Lady, so I assumed this was just one more on the pile of meh.
I just looked into it and can't find them available anywhere in my country, but they apparently launched in Europe this year, so I'll keep an eye out.

Yeah they’re def different!

Yes! The most poorly advertised apple in history. I feel like they had to put delicious in the name to get people to buy it
KonoPez t1_iy02w8e wrote
Yes they’re fairly new, still not widely available here in the US. Actually now that I think about, not sure if I’ve had a Pink Lady. Maybe I’ll take a look at the grocery store soon

Nice.
Look at us apple bros, pushing each other into new orchardly delights.

Dry mealy flesh, tastes like your dad running out to get a pack of smokes and not coming back. During the holidays.

So true.
For some reason it’s the only apples my dad likes.
I can’t figure out what’s wrong with him.

Idk friend, honeycrisps are hard to beat

If you were a fruit you'd be a fineapple
KonoPez t1_iy49lcr wrote
Honeycrisp is very good, but Cosmic Crisp was engineered to basically be a better Honeycrisp

Imma let you finish, but Elstar is one of the best cultivars of all time
