When I was evaluating Stark Brothers Nursery's test block about 10 years ago, Hawkeye was a numbered clone that reminded me of Delicious that was in the first Doll orchard. Later on, I came across Cameo, which by appearance looked like a Midwestern Delicious (Hawkeye). But the flavor and texture were memorable, and I agree with Win.

Hawkeye -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of David Barclay Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 7:27 PM To: [email protected] 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. David Barclay 169 County Rd.
