Visitor reviews
- 12 Oct 2013 Will WoodUnited StatesWe have a Shay grafted on Mark stock. It is a reliable producer and a delightful Macintosh style apple. The Shay is our most disease resistant apple. Our other apples may show scab or have some coddling moth issues, but the shays look like they came from the store. They keep well.
