Owner's comments

Originally purchased in 2012 when we lived in Gloucestershire (Where the variety originates). Fruited for the first time in 2014 - just two apples. Successfully transported and relocated to our new home in Sussex in April 2015. Produced some blossom and fruitlets, but then a deer paid us a visit and that was that as far as fruit was concerned
