Also on display will be the official 2009 Festival of Trees artwork by internationally renowned and local artist Trish Biddle.
 
The Gallery of Trees will serve as a backdrop for an array of events for the entire community, culminating with the City of Southlake and Southlake Town Square’s Tree-lighting Event on Saturday, November 20.
 
Families from near and far will enjoy an array of festivities and create a heart-warming and memorable holiday experience during this exciting season of giving.

And then stroll through the Ballroom inside the Hilton Hotel in Southlake Town Square and marvel at the stunning collection of Christmas décor for the Gallery Open House.

Honeycore Fujis: Ugly Apple, Serious Flavor!

Sometimes, the line between favorable and unfavorable traits in a piece of fruit gets a bit blurry. Honeycore is a great example of this.

When apples, especially Fujis, have a “good year”, the starches in the center convert to sugars and the flavor concentrates, leading to an amber-brown color. Americans look at this as off-putting, and agriculturalists generally refer to it as “watercore.” The Japanese, on the other hand, have figured out that this ugly flesh simply tastes better; affectionately naming it Mitsu, or “honeycore,” and charging a premium for apples that have it!
Our citrus growers in Madera County, California have set out to create Fuji apples with exactly this characteristic. Grown on a higher elevated portion of land typically ideal for peaches and grapes, these fruit are left on the tree longer than most commercial apples to reach their peak sugar content. These apples will not win any beauty contests; apples need cold nights to get the striking colors typical for apples from New York or Washington. This being said, they are most likely the sweetest apples that we will carry all year!
The local bear and deer have taken a liking to this fruit, so supplies are extremely limited. Give these guys a shot if you’re in this week, you’ll be glad you did!
