We got three of these at the Greenmarket this morning. They're an early apple: it's this year's crop. Sweet, though not unreasonably so: if your preference is for Granny Smiths, you probably won't like these, but if you like Gala or Mcintosh you might. I think I like them better than Paula Red, another early variety that both this vendor and at least one other had this week.They're not as tart as a mac, and could be a bit crisper for my taste and ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
cattitude's, but they weren't mealy, the way most apples are after long storage (and red delicious after a fortnight: one of the things I like about Galas is that they keep moderately well).
They're mostly red-skinned, a red closer to Gala than Mcintosh or red delicious, and closer to spherical than a mcintosh. ETA: I just got out another, and it looks almost exactly like a mcintosh.
That name is what was on the sign, if I recall correctly; it might have been NY 619. Googling found, after a bit of work, a nice list of apple varieties from the American Pomological Society, and another from "All About Apples" but neither list had a name/number of the form New York 4nn or 6nn. If we remember, and check, I will update this post.
ETA: Correct number added later.
