sweeter than the regular Gala but

intensely tart and sweet
Okana
NEW crunchy, sweet, with the
characteristic delicate wine-like "vinous"
flavor of the McIntosh family of apples.

aromatic, this very tasty apple is low in acid.

flavor while others describe it as having a
subtle pear-like taste

and tart. Hints of lemonade flavour
Miscellaneous other varieties
Pears:
Bosc
The creamy, off-white flesh is tender yet crisp
with an intense honeyed aroma. Bosc pears have
a pleasantly sweet flavor with hints of fall spices.
The flesh of a Bosc pear may be dense, but it is
also quite juicy
Anjou The flesh of the Anjou pear is bright, white and
dense with a slightly sweet flavor with subtle
notes of citrus. Anjou pears are very juicy when
ripe. Anjou pears remain green when ripe
