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

at least of any Delicious sports I've eaten. As is often the case,
it's hard to beat the original. I look forward to eating from my one
tree every year.

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
