Do you have any info about the Pineapple Candy variety? I got scions at the exchange a couple years ago. Someone told me they thought it was the same as Hawaii (which is, I believe, a Gravenstein x Golden Delicious cross from Burbank), but I haven’t found any other sources to back this up. Thanks.
Hi Laura,
Pineapple Candy is a Santa Cruz County/Freddy Menge original variety, on which we’ve published a couple notes here: http://mbcrfg.org/notes-new-california-apples/
Enjoy!
