Hello A couple of the recent threads got me thinking, what is your favorite apple variety? Mainly for taste, but also for how well they grow. Am thinking off getting one or two more For me its probably the good old cox or one of the cox types, a sweet apple but not mushy

One that I haven't seen for years, Golden Russet.
I have a apple called sunset, a good doer and tastes like golden delicious. Golden Delicious does not grow well here in the south west.
Egrement russet is also good but like pansy face stated its a personal choice how you like your apples to taste.
Thanks for your opinions guys, keep em coming please!
Edd, should have known you would say something like that! Do you eat them often?
I love 'James Grieve ', but there are so many good apples. Much depends where you live, when the late frosts might be, and - maybe the most important - what kind of apples do you like to eat? Do you only want eating apples, or would you lie cooking apples too?
For me it's got to be discovery which is a lovely apple with a delicious flavour. If only getting a couple of trees you will need to match them so that they pollinate each other.
My favourite apples are toffee apples Bekkie
