Tom Burford

I didn't say it.

Apples of North America, a Celebration of Exceptional Varieties by Tom Burford.

And if you remember back...

I can't remember which episode it was.

Happily, in the early decades of the 21st century, we are now striving to return to the dynamic and richness of the apple culture that was abandoned.

The apple of the future is full of promise.

Again, that's from Apples of North America by Tom Burford from Timber Press out 2013.

So, yeah, these apples, I mean, have gone through a lot of change, obviously.

It describes the Brushy Mountain limber twig, and they're called limber twigs because the twigs on the trees would droop, the very limber, probably from the heaviness of the fruit.

but it says here in the book by Tom Burford, a celebration of exceptional varieties, Brushy Mountain limber twig.

This variety stands out among more than 40 recognized limber twigs for its noted dependability to provide an annual crop.

The taste has to be personally experienced, but I liken it to the complex flavor of a wine sap without the vinous influence.
