Owner's comments
Rubinettes are prone to scab, and a good spraying program is a necessity. They are very prone to cracking. I loose many apples due to cracking. The apples that remain, however, are among the best tasting fruit I have ever eaten.Season records for this tree

The deer wiped out my apple crop. Due to a late freeze, there were no apples on the wild trees in this area. So, mine were especially tempting.2015

The tree set a good crop. However, most of the apples were lost, due to cracking. This is the second year this problem has occurred.2014
