Owner's comments
Same as last year some marking on apples due to moth infection but this year much reduced to previous. No pruning done this year - but still heavy crop - apples not as large as last year but plentiful. Again rippening from brilliant pink to red - looks like a Xmas tree! Agaiin this year wasps very active - due to higher sugar content. Apart from that I let nature take its course and neighbour all love it fresh and sweet taste.Season records for this tree
