Dave,
Our best tasting red is Topred--I think that is a C&O, it seems to also
be the one our customers pick first. I would echo Win's comments about
Cameo. It has suffered in the mass marketing channels by being picked and
shipped too early, but it is on the way to being the most favorite apple
among our customers.

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.
