Owner's comments
I planted the tree in April of 2009. It is planted alongside an old New England variety called Seek-No-Further. It seems much more delicate. The major problem so far has been deer, they ate any new growth on the trees. I solved this by enclosing them in 6 foot high chicken wire cages.Season records for this tree

Spring blossom: 4 May
We've had a very cold spring. Only a few blossoms on the tree. It is nowhere near as strong or vigorous as its neighbor the Seek-No-Further.2011
Spring blossom: 12 May
This is the first time the tree blossomed, at four years old. The tree is covered in blossoms. We've had a very wet, cool spring.
