Owner's comments
I'm very happy to have goldrush trees. This variety is for production. In order to get enough apples which will get us through the winter, I bought some scion wood. According to several internet descriptions, this apple can easily be held until next year in may or even longer, if it is stored at the right temperature. Disease resistance is good(low) and it's taste (of the apple) is complex. I like complex tasting apples especially when they can be held for a long time. I have three trees in 65 litres containers. I do not want to go to the chain stores to buy apples in the winter. The chain stores sell tasteless fruits, and I'd rather grow better apples I really enjoy. Chain store apples suck!Season records for this tree
