Root Basket of Organic Fruit

TH Exclusives (gifts)

object_utils.display_object2.jpgWe featured a root ball platter by VivaTerra previously. Now they are offering this unusual, hand-carved "root basket" made with reclaimed wood. It has a selection of 12 heirloom apples and pears inside. The fruit is grown on a farm in the Northwest — the apple are Braeburn, Fuji or Honey Crisp, and pears are Bosc, Bronze or Anjou Seckel. It's priced at $125. :: VivaTerra

Take the "heirloom" descriptor for the apple varieties with more than a grain of salt. All 3 varieties -- Braeburn, Fuji, and Honeycrisp -- are recent introductions. However, "heirloom" is an accurate discriptor for at least two of the pears; I don't know about the 'Bronze' cultivar, perhaps that is Buerre Bosc, which is also more than 100 years old.
