Owner's comments

Growing too well for it's location near the house. I'm going to move it when it is dormant. I may put it on the hillside next to a mature unknown apple tree at the edge of our woods. I don't have any space left in my orchard for it. I have three other unknown apples trees purchased for £2 each from a garden center clearance sale (due to lost labelling). I may move them all together from the yard to the hillside to make a mini mystery orchard.
