Heirloom apples

The first photo below is of my Pink Pearl apple tree. The apples are just ripening now. The flesh of this apple has a mottled pink color and these make delightful pies and applesauce with a pink tint!



The above photo is of my Cox's Orange Pippin Tree, a tart apple that ripens about now in the San Francisco Bay Area. An Irish visitor to my garden was so thrilled to see this apple tree. She told me that in Ireland it is a very special time when the Cox's come in!
