Owner's comments
wonderful tree and great producer. recommend thinning apples after June drop, makes for larger apples. I t also takes weight off branches as apples grow. I prune my tree so sun can get to majority of apples. I harvest apples end of September to beginning of October. I did not have a harvest one year due to a very cool, wet summer- lots of apples, but the never ripened. A couple years there was last frost and killed to blossoms before pollinated, no applesSeason records for this tree

tress is 20 years old and produces 2000-3000 apples per year. awesome tasting apples, great for eating, makes delicious fresh apple juice (freezes well) and apple sauce-no sugar added. I have problems with wasps/yellow jackets eating them. Great tree!
