Pink Pearl Earrings
We met a variety of apple that had not yet seen, in fact only have seen here, but as we like to have in our hands, smell and taste the apple pink pearl (pearl Pink Apple), You guys had some knowledge of?. If we think we know a wide variety of apples, we are wrong if applied to the vast variety in our country and beyond our borders. Apparently, the pink pearl apple is not easy to find, its cultivation is reduced, but who knows it appreciates its characteristics, a medium-size fruit with a conical shape with a pale green skin translucent something hidden inside a pulp bicolor , between Pearl and cream or pink, hence its name. This apple variety is also aromatic and as many varieties of apples more like, is crisp, juicy and with a bittersweet taste and is ideal for eating fresh or for making recipes such as apple pie. The pearl pink apple was obtained by Albert Etter (1872-1950) in his experimental cultivars Ettersburg called in California. It seems that from a young age aimed to improve certain fruits, new varieties that give good results in California and the Pacific Northwest, particularly of apples and strawberries. It makes very interesting reading that offered here about its origins, its history and its work in the field of horticulture, apparently did not get rich, but very famous and loved (not without difficulty) by all the achievements and varieties the fruits mentioned that gave rise to the farmers to carry out new crops. It was not until 1944 when a Canadian company associated with the California Nursery Company (CNC), which was one of the largest nurseries in California until mid-1960 when the patent was filed pearl pink apple with six other varieties of Ettersburg apple, a great satisfaction for Albert Etter experienced death before recognition of his work. In the same document that we recommend you read (in English) you can see the seven varieties of apples known then, and two others who subsequently included as part of the legacy of blocks Ettersburg, with some of their characteristics, their names are: Etter's Gold, Pink Pearl, Wickson Crab, Jonwin, Alaska, Humboldt, Crimson Gold, Waltana and Katherine, some without official patent. Returning to the pink pearl apple, they say that is the apple variety that became more popular, interesting growth experienced commercial cultivars properties, aesthetic and beauty. This is an early apple, can be found in the markets since late August or early September, ie they are in season now, if you have the good fortune that we find you read from the California state, enjoy it, the rest, as explained in The Kitchener, we will go to local farmers to make us some of the native apple varieties, as in our area the apple tart or poma de l'agredolç. But how beautiful! There are thousands (and not a mean) of apple varieties and usually only know a few. I hope you do not miss all this biodiversity. It's nice to find work and improve varieties genetically improved without them, I did an internship in the laboratory of potato Alava The council some years ago and it was very interesting. . . .
