Cougar in my yard

Dad always said he liked the Jonathan apples the best. We had one of those trees along with a delicious. Never have cared for the delicious I liked the Jonathans as long as there not over ripe. Cant stand a soft mussy apple. My favorite right now is a honey crisp. Al

Old thread, I've been eating Opals but recently tried a new apple, Kiku. It's my new favorite. Try one if you get a chance, I think they're much better that Honeycrisps.

Thanks Dave I will do that Im a picky apple eater. I like them crisp and they pop when you take a bite out of them. We dont get consistant good apples here. Many of apple has gone right out the truck window when I was still on the road. Those mushy apples aint for this old man.

I guess we're pretty lucky here in that the apples don't have to travel very far from the fruit warehouses to the store. My neighbor/co-goat owner is a truck driver and hauls a lot of fruit, he gives our goats better apples than it sounds like some that you get. They all come running when they see him coming to the gate.

I worked in an orchard for a couple of years when I was young, back before there were so many varieties and the absolute best apple was a Golden Delicious that got missed during harvest and was truly tree ripened. Now they pick Goldens so green that I never buy them.
