Season records for this tree

  • 2015

    Harvest: 3rd week July  1kg / 2lbs
    Fireblight: Mild attack
    Ripened before I had realized it, so 2 of the year's 3 apples were already slightly over-ripe and mealy by July 23 when I picked them. Third was still crisp. Flavor sweet, mild, slightly aromatic, somewhat insipid.
