production, but growers are simply responding to retailer demands.

Thank you to Matthias in Germany and Jose Manuel in Portugal. As
there were no
replies confirming European Union regulation of varieties grown, I
am ready to notify
my customer that his friend must have been misinformed about why his
favorite apple
could not be found in Englis
