Owner's comments
The tree started to go into biennial bearing in 2005, but this has been corrected, as was an onset of bitter pit in 2008. The tree crops very well and often has large fruit.Season records for this tree

Much less blossom this year. the tree may be returning to a biennial bearing habit. This variety is prone to it.
