Re: [nafex] tip bearing apples, espalier subjects

True - the fresh quality is uninspiring, though here in the NW it will make
acceptible pies.  The production is so lousy it isn't worth it, though.  The
only people that grow it regularly, as I said, are people who want to win
"biggest apple" contests.  That's it's only use.
