I just updated the What’s Growing? page and didn’t realize how many fruit trees we have until I listed them all down. Below is the list so far, not even including all the grafts that I have made.

Apples, Pears and Asian Pears…
I harvest various Apples, Pears and Asian Pears from our garden to make an Apple and Pear Crisp.
I harvested the two Asian Pear ‘Hosui’ 
fruits because they were starting to soften. I think I should have harvested them a few weeks ago when they were more firm.
The Asian Pear ‘Hosui’ fruits are more brown and spotted than our existing Asian Pear (unknown variety) that they are grafted onto.
One of our Apple variety has splotches of semi-translucent areas inside the fruit. It looks mushy, but isn’t. My Mom says that this is normal and it tastes a little like Pineapple.
I didn’t remember to take a photo of the unpeeled Apple. I’ll have to check the tree and take a photo.
Anyone happen to know this Apple variety?
