Default mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, Gravenstein Apples

My kitchen and outlying areas now smell like a Gravenstein apple orchard
because they're coming in early.... maybe I'll dry some for dried-apple
pie later in the fall...

No, Duboce Triangle, near Noe/14th. One of the subsections of Eureka
Valley, in turn a subsection of the Western Addition.

Very cool. I'm glad to know they aren't completely a Northern
California regional specialty; since the orchards are rapidly being
destroyed .

actually, the Gravenstein apple or Gravensteiner is an apple from Northern
Germany/Denmark (just at the border) and still produced over here. It is
namend after Schloss Gravenstein (Gråsten castle).

Because it is not an efficient pollinator, the variety is grown less and
less... *sigh* but it is still one of my favorite apples.
