Owner's comments
The tree I have described (I have many more LL's now) was purchased and planted in Penzance, Cornwall and brought with me when I moved to Norfolk in 2002. Some root pruning took place at the time! Having more room to grow apples I bought some more LL and also a Lane's Prince Albert which came with me from Cornwall like the LLSeason records for this tree

Heavy crops, some mild canker on older trees, lots of smaller apples through not thinning out. Not much wasp damage this year although nest in vicinity in shed window. Cold spell late august thinned wasps out. A good overall healthy crop this year
