Owner's comments
Year 2011 was first year that tree produced apples. After thinning, about 12 apples total for this young tree. Jonagold and Fuji apple trees within the yard and blooming at same time which led to good fertilization. Flavour excellent and size very good (about 3" diameter), 3.7 oz on average. Cold wet spring in coast of British Columbia meant everything (including apples) bloomed late and was harvested about two weeks later too.Season records for this tree
