About shelf life:
There's this weird little apple tree, Prime Rouge. Every two years, he's choke full (the other empty) of perfectly formed, perfectly red apples, optical flaws are rare. They are already edible in summer but get really succulent taste and a white flesh about two months later. The best apple breed i know, in texture, taste and look.

Buut they only keep about two months max, unlike the other breeds you have in your supermarket.

Yeah, some apples I bought recently weirdly last a long time. The reason I know is that they tasted bad so I didn't feel like eating them...
