Davey (which incidentally rhymes with 'savvy', not 'gravy') was named after S. Lothrop Davenport, who discovered it an old orchard in Massachusetts. Richard Fahey classes Davey as practically a twin to the well-known Empire, but with superior disease resistance. Richard is a long time, hardcore homesteader in upstate NY with over 400 apple varieties in his orchard. Davey is on his list of 'The 30 Best Apples'. These are all reliable, low maintenance producers that thrive in his no-spray setting. Davey's pleasant hint-of-strawberry flavour has also been compared to Baldwin or to Westfield Seek-No-Further. Either way this mid-sized, multi-purpose, mostly red apple makes great fresh eating right through until March.
