Owner's comments
This tree has been cut back drastically, because it was much too big. Next year I will graft some other apple variety on it, leaving 2 or 3 Golden Delicious branches on it. 20-05-2023: Supplemental: I didn't cut it's branches. It almost died, because of harsh weather along with cold strong wind and no water. It took two years for this tree to recover. This year it is blossoming and ready to produce a crop. I don't like store bought apples, like the Golden delicious. I will leave the apples on the tree until they are yellow and fragrant.Season records for this tree

Nice apple, but not particular in taste. I have it there in de garden to pollinate other apple trees Vigorous growing tree. Fruits are the best when picked strait from the tree. The apples taste of roses. Cannot let the fruits stay long on the tree when ripe, because of birds. Some say, this apple is quite nice if left on the tree until it has its yellow colour. I might give this a try this year.
