Missing my favourite apple: Aurora. This is the best apple by far. Last long, taste is amazing (though maybe a bit too sweet after a while). I can't rarely find them. Does anyone know how to track down where apples are grown?

Assuming you mean the Aurora Golden Gala, this is also my favourite with Honeycrisp a close second. The only place I have ever found them for sale is in Vancouver. I discovered them at the UBC Botanical Garden Apple festival (https://botanicalgarden.ubc.ca/apple-festival-2022-recap/)

Berkeley Bowl used to regularly sell them—not sure if they still do.

I know the site is partly in jest, but I cross-checked against my local bareroot orchard that sells ~75 varieties of Apples and this site had only about 5% of them. I would say it's missing quite a few of the best apples.

Oh! We had Aurora apples in upstate NY recently, they were wonderful. We were in Apple Valley right around Syracuse/Finger lakes region.

Can't seem to find anywhere to order them shipped though.

Apparently, Aurora is a cross between Golden Delicious (33/100 - horse food) and Royal Gala (70/100 - mediocre).
