I don't know how it could be done, but an extra 20MT/Ha of not-so-crisp, not
very juicy, and bland flavored HoneyCrisp is something that the industry should
make every attempt to avoid. I think Tom's last goal is far more important to
overall sales and profitability than getting the extra

Actually I've seen the process of moving from blemished fruit to
clean fruit happen, Dave, on research trips to Romania. When we
first went, soon after the fall of communism, the apples being sold in
all the markets I saw were blemished by insects and diseases to the
extent that most would

Blame the mass market. Seems stuff like Gala and Braeburn are more
popular with the average Brit these days. Nobody's restricting
production, but growers are simply responding to retailer demands.
Mo, I think you meant Glen Koehler? I'm surprised he hasn't weighed
in. It would be great if he would put his slides from the talk up on

One of the points he made is based on work done by Turner Sutton and

As for my phytopathological analysis of taste: good.

I'd like to add my two cents to Tim Smith's excellent email of Jul 3.
First, the FB models, MaryBlyt and Cougar Blight, can appear to be
complicated, particularly MaryBlyt. To use Maryblyt correctly,
temperature data has to be fed in for every day from green tip on

The interaction between host and pathogen, for example, between apple

puts tremendous selection pressure on the pathogen, particularly if
the only way it can survive is to infect a host. We don't really
