Jon:
Dennis Courtier (of NBT) brought samples to the recent MAIA meeting at Eckert's in Belleville, IL. It is large, conical (without pronounced lobes), moderately dark red, very crisp with a mild sweet flavor.
Speaking of MAIA crosses examined that afternoon, I'd say there are a few candidates amongst them. We just have to find them!!

say 'Honecyrisps!!!' Do we say McIntoshs, or Delicious's???

While we are on the subject, MN-1914 (aka 'NBT') has hit the industry
media lately, anyone have any comments (they want to publicly share)
on a new era of apple growing?
