Trees grew well no blossoms. Planted 2 more to replace Swiss limbertwig in I that died of fireblight last year. Also have 2 more planted singly fall of '11 one of which bore one apple this yr. Could've waited a week or 2 longer to harvest, still a remarkable apple that has me excited for the future.2012
