Oh boy, do I ever remember June apples ! They were yellow, but I saw red apples once..Just had it by hearsay that it was a June apple tree...Seems to me what some folks now call a June apple are LODI...or Loda...hoping that is right. They're yellow, are picked early in summer...but to my way of thinking don't have that same great taste....Old fashioned June apples are common around old houses over in W KY.,I know that. My sister in law buys them at the Greenville, KY Flea market...but they are getting scarcer and more expensive all the time...Seems like she went to an orchard last year and mortgaged the farm..so to speak.... for some to put in the freezer for making fried apples all year...If I can find out any more I will let you know. Have you Googled 'June apple tree ?' Wish I had a few right now to chomp on and maybe fry some for breakfast...Cat's head biscuits, home churned butter, freshly laid eggs, home cured 'streak of lean' bacon...and fried apples...Oh yes, plus a big mug of Arbuckles .....You worked hard for food back in the day, but man did it taste good!

I only heard it referred to as the June apple tree. There was one in the barn lot (earlier it was where the log cabin stood) that would bear hundreds of apples. They made great fried apples and had many as a side dish during the summer. I know it was there during the depression as Dad talked of Grandpa and Grandma sharing with neighbors during those hard days. > > Marilyn ____________________________________________________________ Woman is 60 But Looks 25 Mom publishes simple facelift trick that angered doctors... http://thirdpartyoffers.juno.com/TGL3141/5168e31c4e775631c044ast04duc
