edna

Edna was discovered in central Maine by Angus Deighan and Abbey Verrier in about 2014 near another of their discoveries, Triple Pink (which we also grow). They think Edna is an old rootstock, and they selected it for its cider potential. We’re still waiting for our first decent crop in Palermo so we don’t have much to report.

The fruit is small (about 1.5-2”—4.5-5cm), round to slightly conic, with practically no basin, and colored a clear yellow, occasionally with a translucent, pink-orange blush and yellow dots that show through the translucent blush. We obtained our scionwood from Angus and Abbey. Currently growing at Super Chilly Farm.
