Never saw this variety before on the East Coast. Absolutely delicious and very appealing to the eye. Almost like a combo of berries, apples, and grapefruit. Very aromatic. I bet they'd look amazing in a dessert too. Give them a try before they're out of season, pink pearls are one of the first to arrive and won't be around much longer.

That's crazy looking - must try! Looks like a plapple - plum/Apple.

What's the texture like? It looks sort of red delicious or pear like. I love pears but prefer a crisp apple.

What defines GMO? Many of the foods you eat are probably GMO. Crossbreeding plants is GMO.

Maybe you aren't aware (?), but radiation is used all of the time to introduce genetic anomalies into crops. Scientists then breed them and look for useful products. That how varieties of rice, wheat, barley, pears, peas, cotton, peppermint, sunflowers, peanuts, grapefruit, sesame, bananas, cassava, black currants, and sorghum were developed for consumption.


BTW, the pink pearl was developed in the 1940s, so if you're a GMO phobe, the pink pearl was bred long before modern genetic technology.

Crossbreeding plants is NOT deemed GMO. Such misinformation. This is probably a 'hybrid' - not the same thing.


Your last statement however is fine/good .. but the first line is not.


That said, this is an interesting looking apple. Very pretty.
