Owner's comments
Planted 8 3/25 as part of a belgian fence, cut back 2 yr old feathered whips to 18" at planting. Lost 1 to fire blight in mid May,otherwise trees grew very well.Season records for this tree

Harvest: 2nd week October 3kg / 7lbs
Size: 2.0m / 6.7ft high 1.0m / 3.3ft wide
Seems pretty happy espaliered, best apples in the yard this year. E. Spitz, Cripps pink, Calville Blanc, Hudson's Golden Gem and Stayman all fruited all good but not so good as these. Below medium crisp sub acid delightful. Besides fireblight first year trees have been healthy, unsprayed. Some worm damage will bag fruitlets 2016. Brix not measured but seemed sufficient.
