Owner's comments
Planted 8 3/25 as part of a belgian fence. Trees were 2 yr old feathered whips cut back to 18" at planting. Trees blossomed heavily no fruit set though. All grew vigorously and untroubled by disease/ pests . We lost 3 trees to fire blight in May ,Calville was untouched.Season records for this tree
