And Yes! We Do Have Apples!

These are Chris's Cox's Orange Pippins.  Some say these are the world's most revered apple, originating in Buckinghamshire England in 1825, they are thought to be an offspring of Ribston Pippin. Crisp juicy flesh when ripe, with a richness that is difficult to describe except perhaps "memorable".  They are about ready to eat now.  Our other 3 apple trees did not do so well this year.  With all the rain in spring I think they did not produce and got mildew fungus.  Chris is dancing about ready to pick and eat his first pippin of the year.
