Owner's comments
Also known as "Westfield", but "Seek-No-Further" is so much more poetic...I planted the tree in April of 2009. It is an old New England variety. I planted it alongside a Cox's Orange Pippin, it seems much hardier. It is thriving, whereas the Cox is growing slower and seems 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

This is the first time the tree blossomed, at four years old. Only one cluster of blossoms. We've had a very wet, cool spring.
