Hello, Margaret, Thanks for the input. No, I am afraid the only variety we can grow here in the lowlands is one named "Beverly Hills." In the mountainous foothills, I am sure many other varieties can be grown. But then again, we are able to grow many other varieties of fruit hereabouts which cannot be grown in much of North America: my lovely macadamia, for example. But I do miss those tasty old time apples. Ron
