Owner's comments
very disease- and insect-resistant. Although it has a distinct inclination to fruit very heavily every two years, in the other years the crop is reasonable. Taste is excellent. 2012- It doesn't seem very happy this year- poor late blossom. August 2012- looks to be a disastrous harvest from this tree- only five apples left on, when there are usually bags-full!Season records for this tree

Spring blossom: 3 May
Harvest: 3rd week September
very little blossom this year, and very slow to open- first year thus. Crop ludicrous this year- six apples set, of which three matured. Most years there are basket-loads of fruit.2011
Spring blossom: 19 April
