Owner's comments
We live near LAX, about 3 miles from the Pacific Ocean. The winters are very mild. Over the last 5 years, our chilling hours ranged between 60-500 chilling hours.
Although there is much fruit drop, the tree must be further thinned to get large fruit. Still, the tree will reliably bear around 50 good-sized apples in a season. They begin ripening in June and stay on the tree until August.
The tree is grafted onto an unknown dwarfing rootstock. I purchased the tree from a local nursery when it was about 6 foot tall and it has grown maybe a foot taller in 5 years.
