Hi Steve, I think these might be macintosh apples but Iām not completely sure. The Okanagan is the name of a valley in the interior of British Columbia (thatās where my home is but I work in the north where the winter photos come from). Hereās a website; maybe you would like to visit some time. https://www.hellobc.com/places-to-go/okanagan-valley/
I havenāt been to New England in about 15 years now (I used to visit Connecticut regularly as I had close friends there), but I always liked it very much; so beautiful. Cheers.
I think these are macintosh apples. I really like those although there are so many forgotten varieties that are beginning to make a comeback. Thereās a variety in the Okanagan called āmutzosā that are very crisp and sweet-tart, but not very attractive looking. They almost disappeared because it was thought they wouldnāt do well in grocery stores. Theyāre now returning which is so great.
For sure! But as Anneli commented, āhurry!ā Thereās something exquisite about biting into a crisp, juicy apple and having that fresh, tart-sweet flavour flow through your system!
Agreed; although this year it just seems slow to me. Of course, it will be late April before Iām snowless here in the north, so I have a while to go anyway!
Time flies, soon you will pick apples again.
Happy Weekend from Cyprus š
Thank you very much. Yes, they will be back with us very soon. Thanks for commenting. Cheers.
Always nice to see the Okanagan orchards. Happy Saturday Lynette. Allan
Agreed. We came across this one while out for a ramble. Thanks, Allan.
An apple I have not heard of before but it certainly grows in a lovely orchard. Welcome warmth on this snowy day in New England.

Apples are my favorite fruit. This photo is wonderful. And now I’m hungry…

Something to look forward to! Summer will be here before we know it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. Linda

Such an amazing photo! I bought green apples at the store last week, and I’m very much craving spring and summer.
Thank you very much. š I like those a lot. Itās so nice to have the very fresh ones. Oh yes, definitely craving spring and summer!
Magical apple orchard!
Haha. š Yes, indeed. But no witches or choking hazards. š
