Owner's comments
The tree described above is the largest of four I have grafted onto unknown root stocks over a few years. Original graft from an old tree in my late father's garden which I remember from the 1950's. It did suffer quite badly from canker but the new ones appear OK so far. Subsequent grafts taken from first tree grafted. Beautiful large handsome apples.Season records for this tree
