Owner's comments
This was bought in a supermarket as a bare rooted maiden. I am incredibly surprised at it's vigour and production. A lovely fruit. I have been looking for a dessert apple for this climate. Cox's do not do well as the growing season is very short due to altitude and aspect and we get late frosts. This little tree seems very happy here.Season records for this tree
