In 1931, a #Oregon nursery called #HudsonNursery made a new #apple discovery. A seed dropped in a hedgerow that produced a new variety of apple. They named the apple after their orchard - #HudsonsGoldenGem.

The Hudson Golden Gem #heirloom apple species is one of 125 heirloom apples that we grow at #WellandCommunityOrchard as community orchard park stewards/orchard caretakers for town the of #ViewRoyal in partnership with #LifecyclesProject society #nonprofit.

These apples taste like pears 🙂

In flavor only or texture too? I hate the graininess of pears. If there's a substitute...

@springdiesel In flavour. Texture is same as apples.

Great variety. I planted #HudsonGoldenGem (on EMLA 26 rootstock) in 1994 and it’s still going strong. It is the latest bearing variety in my orchard.
