    Crop kept light as season is so short. Tree was reduced. To just two branched and overg grafted with Yarlington mill last winter. Pencils of Exeter cross taken and grafted on to m9 for future. Apples not great eating. Too fluffy for my preference. Yarlington Mill grafts growing strongly! Much better than the tree they were. Taken from.
