Owner's comments
Very fast growing. Lots of long, thin, upright straggly branches that bend downwards under weight of fruit. Average resistance to pests. Average-good resistance to diseases (but has problems with fruit scab). Moderate fruit losses due to scab causing splitting, rotting and pest-entry points to the fruit. Leaves are more resistant to scab.Season records for this tree
