| Comment for Antje. You will not see Holstein apples for sale on the lower mainland. I've not seen them in any nursery either. You can graft your own tree or buy one from someone who grafts trees. The graft material for Holstein is available. It comes from local home gardens. It is a very good 'cox' style apple for the wet weather of the westcoast of BC. Scab resistant. | ||

| This apple is grown by many in the Home Orchard Society. It is one of my favorites in my own orchard. I like it as a fresh eater and as a pie. | ||
