Are sometimes round and grow on Ida Red Apple trees.
This is the first apple off a little tree we planted a few years ago. I didn't realize that it had set fruit this year, but Alan noticed when we were out taking photos of the pretty morning.
Amazingly, considering that it surrounded by old apple trees with tons of wormy apples, there wasn't a single worm in it.
And it tasted, far, far better than it looks.

Looks pretty good from here.
We kind of neglected our trees this year. It is pretty darn cool to have your own apples!
Ida Reds are wonderful apples.
They're a beautiful red and they keep their shape when cooked, so they make great chunky applesauce and pretty tarts, but the best thing is their flavor, rich and tangy like their ancestor the Jonathan. Lucky you to have your own tree. They're hard to find in the market.
I wish we could grow good apples here.
Rev. Paul it was so tart and tasty I simply can't describe it. And it was such a surprise to find the apples. I had been meaning to go see if it set fruit because it had a few blossoms this spring, but just hadn't gotten around to it. there are about six of them...another one for breakfast this morning
Lisa, believe me, this one does not get tender loving care. lol
WW, they are one of my very favorites and I swear this one tastes better than usual. lol The flesh is a bit more golden than usual. If you want the names of orchards that have them available up our way, there are a number of them. We buy them quite often.
