Excellent info, gorgeous pics and what a lovely recipe.
I am currently working on attempting to breed new anthocyanin rich apple varieties through growing out many Malus sieversii trees. I have a few second year (2 year old) 2nd generation North American (grown from seed on Canadian soil) Malus sieversii seedlings and about a dozen first year seedlings showing promising indications that they may indeed produce anthocyanin rich fruit (the anthocyanin content in the leaves is an indicator of the likelihood of anthocyanin expression levels in the fruit in my experience).
If you are not familiar with Malus sieversii and would like to learn more I wrote an article on that species here:
Thank you Gavin! I’m all for learning new things, and breeding new varieties is something I haven’t yet attempted, how fantastic that you’re doing this! Looking forward to following along on your experiment. Very exciting.
