I havent found it for sale anywhere online. Ive been looking for it because Im sure someone has to have scion wood for it stateside, to no avail. But of course all the best horticultural prizes are not found in online catalogs, just through farmers market connections and word of mouth.

My two top contenders: Pendragon - a red flesh variety Akane - to represent the weebiness inherent in the gothic culture.

Gravenstein?

Really was considering it, but the genetics work against me. AB is a sterile triploid, WR is a below average pollenator, and MS and RR both wild cards (young varieties without solid pollenation data) so adding Graves, which are a sterile triploid as well, would be less than optimal.
