i've been growing pre 1800's apples and i confirmed i'm not allergic to raw apples pre 1800. there's a genetic bottleneck for all modern apples around 1800 that bred out the phenolic acid, the lack of phenolic acid makes my tongue itchy and my throat swell up. but this orleans reinette i grew didn't cause any allergic reaction to me. i've grafted a bunch of other pre 1800s varietals and i'm converting my front lawn into an apple dominant food forest style garden with berries and perennial edible plants. i have twelve different apple seedling trees and i'll graft some into frankentrees with many apple varietals on one tree.
