SC - period apples

[Mark.S Harris]

David/Cariadoc replied to this with:

There is a firm called AppleSource--I don't know if they are on the web
yet. They sell a wide variety of apples, including, I am fairly sure, some
of the period ones, by mail.

Alternatively you can get trees from quite a lot of nurseries--you will
find an article on that subject in the _Miscellany_. My problem is that I
keep moving, and leaving my trees behind. Hopefully, since things grow fast
here, I will at least get to enjoy the greengage plum I planted when we
moved.

You might be interested in this list that Cariadoc gave a while back. This
is from my fruits-msg file. I don't know if he has updated it since then.

Not only are apples period, some period varieties are still grown. In
particular, Rameau d'ete, aka Summer Rambo, is often available in the
Pennsic area about the time of Pennsic. The following list of period or
near period fruit varieties is from an article in _The Miscellany_ (also
T.I.).
