Hi

I am not at all convinced that what I have been thinking was a Bramley
seedling tree in our garden is one, even though the fruit seem to taste
Bramleyish when cooked. The thing is that the apples are often ready
and start falling by late August/early September and are never that
super green Bramley colour, they are often a paler yellow-green, and
sometimes have a blush of pink. Could they still be Bramleys or is
there another cooker variety with a similar flavour and cooking
behaviour (the fluffy way they go)? I have no idea about any other
cooking apples by the way, I've only ever dealt with Bramleys so I don't
know if others taste or cook similarly - is there a knowledgeable
cooking apple person on the newsgroup?

Thanks
Lynda

A Bramley has a fleshy stalk which is plump and twisted on the apple.
A normal dry stalk suggests other than true Bramley. As with Cox's there
are a number of apples that have the Bramley parentage and are thus a little
similar~~ cooking-wise at least.
Best Wishes Brian.
