I think "Winesap"apples are a very old variety but I am not sure if they go
back to the middle ages or not. Lodi apples are also very old. The trees
grow wild in this state as do a red variety for which I don't know the name.
(maybe jonny appleseed?)

Lady Apples are one variety that is still available today that was used in
period. There are others. I think Stefan may have a file on this in his
Flory-thingie since it was discussed in depth rather recently.
