Owner's comments

I am given to understand that due to the overwhelming amount of cool wet days in the spring we can expect to treat all our trees repeatedly during the season. We have not decided on whether we will try to stay exclusively with organics but lean that way. I am considering trying to graft a piece of one of these to the Transparent to accelerate our potential fruit bearing. We have been harvesting this variety in Virginia for four decades and brought seeds with us to the place where "anything grows".
