    Which half of Ken Morrish’s (Colaton Raleigh, Devon) unique pomme tastes sweeter, and why?

    Question #109414. Asked by BRY2K. (Oct 04 09 3:44 AM)


    Zbeckabee

    		When Ken Morrish picked this apple off a tree in his garden, he thought a prankster had painted half of it red.

    But after inspecting it closely he realised that the remarkable split colours on the fruit were a natural phenomenon. And the bizarre apple turned Mr Morrish into something of a celebrity in his village with scores of neighbours queuing up to take a photograph of it.

    Experts say that the odds of finding an apple with such a perfect line between the green and the red are more than 1million to one.

    In such cases, the red side usually tastes sweeter than the green side - because it has seen more sunshine during its growth.
