Native Hunter Apples 2023

[KY wild]

How do you like it as an eating apple?

I have never processed a Galarina but fresh off the tree I like the taste. Seems like they are a little tart but tasty. Also still alive after 25 years with no spray speaks for itself.

One of the gents on here posted pics of his Galarina in N.Y. State holding apples in December. Can't remember who it was - might have been Apple Junkie. Evidently it holds longer up here in northern areas? Notable differences in ripening / holding times north to south. Hope it's good for you gents in warmer areas.

Like hearing the good repots of it. Sounded like a great tree from 2 years ago, so I put 3 of them in. ONly tree I have 3 of at home. Got one at the farmland I hunt too.

Not a hint of disease issues so far.

Hows the skin on the apple? Thick, thin, seperates easy from flesh? I probably won't process it myself either because of the smaller size. However, I have yellow jacket issues and prefer thicker skin apples, and ones that are not red either.

I'm not well-versed on the relative thickness or thinness of apple skin, so I'm no help there. But Galarina has been a good wildlife tree for us. Good DR tree.
