Owner's comments
My Wealthy tree is very small (under 5 feet) and only has two 6-inch long branches. I planted it very near a 30-year old orange tree and I think it has been out-competed so far but the apples were excellent! This is one of my favorite apple varieties after only one small crop.Season records for this tree

This was the first crop, with 5 medium apples ripening in August. The first three were very tart and very good, the last two had sweetened some and were also good.
