Owner's comments
Apples all clean, disease and blemish-free (organically grown with free-range hens in the orchard). Very good flavour and texture. Highly recommended for an early apple.Season records for this tree

Early apples suffered from patchy pollination due to bad weather. Otherwise, crop pretty good.
