Owner's comments
This tree was planted in the early 1960's. For the past 20 years it has not had much care, but has been able to survive with the limited water each year it received. We pruned it this year and received double the apples from last year. We are very limited knowledge of the apples, but we sure are learning.Season records for this tree
