Cider Apples - The New Pomona by Liz Copas
This item is a ‘Small Parcel’ item - see Delivery
The book begins by explaining the distinguishing features of cider apples as opposed to eating and cooking apples. Regional growing traditions are covered, in addition to a small section on acquiring your own cider apple trees.
Cider apple descriptions include the origin, history and characteristics of the variety; the characteristics of the juice (including specific gravity (SG) where possible); and the characteristics of cider made from the variety.
Liz guides you through the process of becoming an orchard detective in order to identify cider varieties, focusing on taste, ripening times, shape, stem, eye basis, skin and internal characteristics. She encourages you to note down your findings and provides handy keys (in the form of tables) to enable you to identify the variety. You can then look up the variety in the A-Z chapter.
