The Gravenstein apple has been etched into the identity of
Sebastopol, California, which is one of the few places on earth to
have extensively grown this elusive apple. The Gravenstein is an
early apple whose only failing is perishability, but it is
celebrated for its superior flavor. Yet Luther Burbank attempted to
improve on the Gravenstein, producing the Winterstein and the
Bonita for home gardeners. During the last 127 years, the
Gravenstein has added millions of dollars to the local economy. It
has provided a reason for celebrations, from the 1910 Apple Show to
today's Apple Blossom Festival and Gravenstein Apple Fair. This is
the Gravenstein's story, from its European roots to small-town
homage, and the part this special apple has played in one
community--and the reason the current decline in apple acreage is
mourned.
