Owner's comments
A very nice apple, greener then a golden, and not as nicely shaped, but very yummy. Keeps well. Tree is relatively vigorous, tip bearer, and crops well. I have trouble keeping them long enough to test how long they will keep - as they get eaten quite quickly here. Winters here are long, have 3 to 6 feet of snow, and temperatures vary, with average of -8 to -15 degrees C., about 10 to 15 days will see -20 to -25 degrees C., and there is usually a damp northwesterly wind off the lakes.Season records for this tree
