Pixie Crunch is exceptionally crispy and is outstanding for fresh eating and salads. Pixie Crunch was developed in 1972 by the joint apple-breeding program of Purdue University, Rutgers University, and the University of Illinois. It is a cross of two numbered apples, but has both Golden Delicious and Rome in its heritage. 

Fortune  is tart, juicy and crunchy, and is a cross of `Empire` and Red Spy (a `Northern Spy` sport). `Fortune` is typically a large apple that produces good apple sauce. `Fortune` was developed at Cornell University. 

Note number 1:  Pixie Crunch are in bunches this year; please pick with both hands, because removing one apple from the bunch may result in several dropping.  The redder apples are the ripest, but since Pixie Crunch is “mature”, greener apples will ripen in your refrigerator.

Note number 2:  Pick the non-red Fortune apples.  The red Fortune apples have problems, and we don’t want you to take any of those home.  Or, pick one, taker a bite, and see what you think.

The apple varieties are slowly ripening.  The hot days didn’t help much, but we can’t do anything about that.  We’re looking forward to those cool, Autumn days.
