Okay, I'll play. This is a S.W.A.G., but I could use the cash. Spice of Old Virginia.

This has gotten interesting. I ate the apple yesterday -- rather dense in hand, but flesh rather fine and somewhat soft, certainly not crispy-crunchy, but not soft to bite (like McIntosh) either. Skin intermediate in thickness, not unpleasant. Complex-sweet flavor, but not 'fruity.' Is reminiscent of Fuji. Here are a couple higher-res pictures. http://fruit.umext.umass.edu/images/2009apples/c-smysteryapplecalyxend.jpg http://fruit.umext.umass.edu/images/2009apples/c-smysteryapplestemeend.jpg Is Keith going to send the 5 bucks to whoever gets it right?
