"Belated early-season market photos! I'm always excited to make a special trip to my favorite NYC farmers' market apple vendor, who grows for multiple breeding programs, including Cornell and MAIA, and often sells numbered test apples that never made it to the national market but are still delicious"

"A wooden crate, containing one type of apple on the left and another on the right. Both are red-and-green apples. A sign on the left reads: Sansa. Sansa was bread in New Zealand, raised in Japan, and then released in the USA in 1986. This Akane-Gala cross is small in size but much sweeter and crisper than most other apples that ripen in August. A sign on the right reads: Summerset. Summerset is very much like its sibling Evercrisp. This trademarked variety from the MAIA (Midwest Apple Improvement Association) is crisp and sweet but has a limited storage life. HoneyCrisp and Fuji are its parents."

"A wooden crate of shiny yellow-red apples. A sign reads: NY-1227. The NY state apple breeding program in Geneva NY is constantly producing new varieties. Before they are named, trees are sent to farms like ours to see how well they grow. This is one of the varieties that was never named."
