Owner's comments
I have grafts of Laxton's epicure in a grafting bank tree. 2 years ago I grafted one on my rubinola mother tree and one on an M9. Both are flowering at this moment. The one on the rubinola is allowed to bear a crop. It is full with blossoms and ready to produce a crop.Season records for this tree

Something is nipping my leafs away! It might be a codling moth or a plum moth. Because of the bitter cold here in The Netherlands, some of the exposed branches were bare, some were dead.2021
