Owner's comments
Lovely tree. Excellent fruit. I selected biennial cropping, but last year, third year of pruning, I got a small off year crop. This year is a very large crop, but I pulled most of the tiny fruit. Next year will tell if I am breaking the cycle.Season records for this tree

We have several grafted trees on the property we purchased 5 years ago on Marrowstone Island. One is primarily Kid's Orange Red as indicated by a tag attached to the tree. The other varieties are unknown. When we purchased the property, the trees had not been tended to in 10 years. Unfortunately, I found some tags in the pile of pruned limbs in my first go around of reviving them. I kept the tags, but I don't know where they belong.
