The 'McIntosh' appears to have survived as a major variety for some time yet. Not too long ago it was frequently mentioned that the Northeast needed a variety to replace Macs. It had many faults-scab, preharvest drop, and quality was poor after long storage. But thanks to new chemicals and CA storage, the McIntosh is still holding its place in the apple variety picture. New red strains and the discovery of spur types has just about assured its place in the sun.
