We used to have a wonderful scarlet red one with pink flesh name unknown
in Belgium. Worth it for having the first apples of the season.

Yes, but my forgettory is working overtime. If no-one else can suggest
what it is, I'll ask someone loacally who probably will.

If you want a swotch of Discovery, or a similar-looking (but nicer)
apple, I'd be pleased to send you some when I hak them off to graft a
coule of varieties I prefer. (Charles Ross is one of them, if you hadn't
guessed.)
