Owner's comments

Was growing well with some fruit in 2012. I intended to remove the fruit early but the birds had other ideas and snapped the fruit bearing branches off the day before I had scheduled to do it. The tree is now misshapen but I'm hoping it will recover like my Morello did last year. I'm getting nets for 2013.
