Owner's comments
Planted on 29 Mar 2014. Soil is damp now due to swimming pool leak...hope to correct within a week or two. No adverse effect on tree yet. pH at planting was 6.0 Tree had single branch at planting. I left it on to check bloom and apples this year. May prune next year to adjust tree shape and balance. Strong growth. Good fruit set.Season records for this tree
