Owner's comments
The tree performed very poorly in 2010. Only four embroyo apples which did not develope properly. The tree succumbed to a "dying of the leaves" which became curled and distorted. There seemed to be a severe infestation of a tiny mite on the leaves which could not be eradicated by recommended pest controls and spraying. This year 2011 the leaves look much healthier and the tree is growing well but we have only had three clusters of blossom on the whole tree. It is grown as a corden and it's spread is 4/5ft and about 3 feet high from the ground.Season records for this tree
