I certainly am no expert but we grew one called Red Prince for several
years top worked on a Mac or Cortland that seemed to be an excellent
compromise between color and taste. It is not a spur type and is quite
vigorous. We do not have any left --replaced by Oregon Spur II.

Subject: Apple-Crop: Strains of Red Delicious
Hello everyone,
I am going to plant more Red Delicious in 2008.
We were head over heels with Red Delicious in the 1960's and 1970's. Over
the years I yanked them out and replaced them with new varieties.
Now my local and asian customers are clamoring for more than I have now.
We've had Starkrimson, Red Chief and It. I have not been enamored with any
of them in terms of taste.
As those of you over 50 years old can remember, - "Old Fashioned
Delicious" was sweet , palatable and tasteful.
That is the Delicious we desire, - and many customers have echoed that
request.
Has anyone an opinion on the which strains of Red Delicious have the best
flavor?
Thank you.
And the best growing season to all in 2007.
