Dear Hester,
In one of your recent shows you talked about fruit trees and about a variety of apple called pomme d’api etoile that produces pentagonal fruit. I rememebr the same (or similar) variety when I was a child in Trentino and I’d like to plant one in my garden. Do you know where I can find it? I have trolled various sites but no success so far.
Many thanks!
Cheers Antonio
