I think your right Phil.....the tree is down the road from me and no one stops to pick'em cause the y look rotten until ya get up close cause they are so black lookin. They are good fresh if ya slice'em...just too hard to take a bite out of....and i have noticed that the more times frost hit'em the sweeter they get.
Hey Bro, how do i save the seeds and start'em???

The only thing I have ever heard about growing apple tree's from seed, is to cut them out of the apple, to make sure that you dry the seeds and there is no moisture on the tissue or paper towel(couple days). Then you dampen the paper towel and it goes into the fridge, make sure it doesn't dry out while its in there and in about 30 days you should have sprouts and then transplant to a pot.
My daughter did this as a science experiment back in high school, so I know it works.
Good luck.

You're welcome, apparently the same applies to pear seeds too.

Cavey..we are waiting for these to come into the Co-Op in Northfield. We had a couple of them last year & they were GREAT!! I would love to make things with them if they did not cost us an arm or leg.. We have our 2nd batch of applesauce done now..We are going to make caramel apple jam next! After this weekend we will get a list of things up that will for auctioned off. We have some pretty YUMMY stuff.. tky
