The
Story of the Lady Apple Our
present day Lady Apple, whose original name was Api after the Etruscan who developed
it, was originally grown in the gardens of Louis XIII. Later, Louis XIV considered
it the only apple variety worthy of being served. In France it is still known
as pomme d'Api. The
Lady Apple is one of the oldest varieties in existence. During Colonial days in
the United States the Lady Apple was a special Christmas-time treat.
