early apples

It was a good farm stand visit this afternoon. They had a favorite early season (local!) apple, Zestar!. While I am not really ready for the season to change I am always happy to find good apples.

Zestar! is a early season apple that comes from the University of Minnesota breeding program (trademarked, USPP#11367). It is a good solid early apple, with a sweet-tart taste and a hint of brown sugar flavoring.

...It is one of the parents of the new popular US variety, Sweetango.
