Owner's comments

The tree yields a large crop every year. The fruit is fairly sharp with a mild flavour, The apples are very attractive in appearance with bright red rosy and shiny patches formed when facing direct sunlight. The apples are well formed with very little blemishing and are of a consistence shape and size.
