Owner's comments
Using apple maggot barriers keeps most apples clean of pests. Codling moth traps keeps worms away. I purchased this "dwarf" from Gurneys (I even have the original mailing slip), but it has proven to be anything but a dwarf. Maybe it's a semi-dwarf, but if I didn't prune it aggressively, it would be nearly full-sized!Season records for this tree
