I'm a bit surprised to say that, after many years of being at best neutral about them, I've recently become an #apple fanboy 😊

I used to find them a bit distasteful, but after some effort and experimentation, I'm really happy with where I landed. And I have to say, compared to the alternatives, their availability and convenience makes a big difference.

My favorite cultivar is #jonagold, but that's probably because it's easy to find where I live. I'm sure many of you are apple fans as well, let me know your cultivar recs!

Cortland and Jonagold are still waiting for a home together!

Der größte Anteil der Äpfel, die in 🇩🇪 angebaut werden, wird als #Tafeläpfel vermarktet. #Elstar und die Gruppe der #Jonagold-Sorten machen zusammen etwa ein Drittel der Apfelernte aus.

@theapplefarmer Guessed it was an alias, checked and learnt #Jonagored is a more highly coloured sport of #Jonagold.

Hope our Jonagold does well in Scotland - a £6 #BareRoot #AppleTree from UK chain "Home Bargains" with no rootstock information, a little gamble last month (maybe I should have waited till next season and planted something more likely to do well here).

#eenvandaag met een onderwerp over appels eten van eigen bodem. De telers blijven ermee zitten.
Maar ik ben jaren in de supermarkt getracteerd op kwalitatief minderwaardige #Elstar en #Jonagold en kocht noodgedwongen dure importappels. Misschien hebben de telers in het verleden de thuismarkt wat teveel verwaarloosd?

@[email protected] thanks! It sure makes me wish it was actually a recent picture, rather than one from my archives😂
Unfortunately apples are relatively expensive atm due to temporarily increased taxes on imported produce to protect the national market. If only those Norwegian apples were actually quite a bit cheaper as a result, that would've been great, but alas.

Sometimes I miss a good #Elstar, #Jonagold or especially for applepies, the #Goudreinette...
