A customer at our farm retail store today related that a recent
visitor from England
told him that he could no longer buy his favorite apple variety in
England, Cox Orange
Pippin. It was his understanding, he said, that commercial growers
in England were
restricted to growing a certain few varieties. He thought this was a
restriction related
to England's membership in the European Union. I would be quite
surprised to learn
that this is true, but have been unsuccessful with my Google search
so far. Surely some
Apple Crop readers can clear the confusion?
