Owner's comments
Got the tree, then a two-year-old, and planted it about ten months ago. It's growing easily in the heavy clay. It gets morning sun and is shaded in the (occasionally) hot afternoons - it seems to be doing alright so far. No fruit, but then, it's just a youngster. - Climate in this part of the East bay (San Francisco area) approximates the rather dry maritime conditions that Coxes seem to like, so fingers crossed....Season records for this tree
