Pinova Apple tree

Owner's comments

Good resistance to diseases. Poor resistance to pests. Particularly a favourite of sawfly and codling maggots. Very unusual "savoury" flavour. I only keep mine (as a cordon) because it seems to attract the maggots, which seem to draw the maggots away from my other trees. I cut the "maggot-holed" fruits into four, discard the quarter with the hole in it, then scoop-out the maggoty core from the other quarters. The flesh remains edible since the maggots eat the pips and not much of the flesh.
