Owner's comments
Interesting story of a man who waited 3 years to purchase this and a Cornish Gilliflower, received and planted the trees in November, only to have his 16 year old son remove the fence from around this tree the following spring and mow it to graft level. 5 years later, what was left of the tree has grown and has flowered- lets see if we get apples, Bud-9 or Ribston Pippin?Season records for this tree

1 apple hanging on this horizontally gowing tree as of July 5th. Apple was plucked from the tree by a hungry bunny. A taste test proved it to be a Ribston and not rootstock.
