Owner's comments
Got this for a pollenizer, and got a bonus of decent little eating apples. It's a pretty peaceable tree, not growing faster than I can prune it, not very susceptible to much. I put kaolin-treated footies around bunches of apples last year, but those that weren't covered weren't attached, either.Season records for this tree
