Some older varieties...
Big Beef, Mat-Su Express, and Brandy Boy seem to be the current varieties that have garnered a lot of interest at TV.
But I'm curious -- I rarely read about Pruden's Purple or Delicious here. I haven't grown either in quite a few years. but thinking about PP for this summer. Both are older OP varieties, and did really well for me. From memory, Delicious was very similar to Big Boy, but BB was more uniform and smoother. I never got a Delicious that was over a pound, but they were large. PP was quite a bit like Brandywine, but earlier.
Has anyone grown these varieties recently?
