Re:7k varieties of apples and the 18 you need to know about ... by petre on Saturday January 01, 2022 @04:25PM (#29762987)
Starkrimson looks a bit like Red Delicious whoch you see in the supermarket but it's smaller and harder at first. Like Granny Smith hard. Not acidic and it tastes a bit banana flavoued. It's also too hard when picked off the tree, I think you need to keep in in the cellar for at least two weeks. It's best used for juice, but rather sweet. Might be very useful in a blend to balance acidity of other apples. I think my dad accidentally combined it with Florina and got good juice out of them.

Yes, I know the summer apples. Horse and donkey food. Some people like them though.

Poland has very good apples and possibly the best apple cider I had. Dorbonski, I think, not sure though.
