Now I know that the Winesap is the apple I am looking for. The ones I was
given from a tree in Alamance County, NC were outstanding and all I know is
that it may have come from Stark, planted around 1970. I would be satisfied
if that was the only variety I grew on my property. That is quite a tale
about your parent's tree. I would be interested in buying a couple of trees
from you in 2021. I will make a not to get in touch with you next year. I
know nothing about fruit tree propagation so would need saplings ready to
plant. Many thanks for your interesting reply.

Re: [nafex] The passing of Creighton Lee Calhoun: Winesap

I have graftlings from the Starks 1948 Staymared Winesap that my parents planted when they first bought their property. I only cut a small amount of scionwood for this year, and the buds have already started expanding so you'll need to get in touch next year, Lawrence, if you want that. I used the last of the Winesaps from the root cellar 2 or 3 days ago.Muffy Barrett

Thanks for letting us know, Elizabeth.

I wonder where I could find an Old Fashioned Winesap apple tree to plant.
According to Lee it is cedar apple rust resistant.
The winesap is my favorite apple. Braxton sawmill in Snow Camp has/had a
full size Winesap. They gave me apples from it one year and they lasted
six months in my fridge. They are tart, sweet, winey-flavored and very
crisp, almost hard. The flesh is grainy which would put many people off.
Braxton's wife told me she bought the tree from Stark.
That would probably make it a Stayman Starkspur Winesap and how it survived
disease in their yard is beyond me. Their tree was huge but you could
easily climb it to get at the apples. I took home what had fallen on the
ground and they were in good shape. Recipe: chill some Winesaps then run
them through a hand crank meat grinder with coarse screen. Chop up some
Barhi dates (or Medjool as second choice but not as sweet or flavorful) and
mix them with the Winesap sauce. Food for the gods.

Thanks for letting us know, Elizabeth.

I wonder where I could find an Old Fashioned Winesap apple tree to plant.
According to Lee it is cedar apple rust resistant.
The winesap is my favorite apple. Braxton sawmill in Snow Camp has/had a
full size Winesap. They gave me apples from it one year and they lasted
six months in my fridge. They are tart, sweet, winey-flavored and very
crisp, almost hard. The flesh is grainy which would put many people off.
Braxton's wife told me she bought the tree from Stark.
That would probably make it a Stayman Starkspur Winesap and how it survived
disease in their yard is beyond me. Their tree was huge but you could
easily climb it to get at the apples. I took home what had fallen on the
ground and they were in good shape. Recipe: chill some Winesaps then run
them through a hand crank meat grinder with coarse screen. Chop up some
Barhi dates (or Medjool as second choice but not as sweet or flavorful) and
mix them with the Winesap sauce. Food for the gods.

[nafex] Lon Rombaugh's site

Lawrence,

I am sure someone at NAFEX wants a copy.  I'm interested, but have no
site for it.  (Working on it)  I'm going to bring it up at the board
meeting and will get back.

There was an obituary article in the Chatham County NC newspaper, where Lee
lived as well as several articles in various papers and publications.
