In an old plant catalogue there are listed many apple and other fruit trees that have become lost to cultivation. The tragedy of this is that some of these cultivars have become discarded for reasons of commercial profit and the fact that their shelf life is short is also another excuse for not growing them. One wonders therefore at the reasoning for keeping apples harvested in March in cool storage so that they can be bought in the following February!
