Owner's comments

I got this scion wood for free. According to internet sources, this apple is a derivative of the cox orange pippin' (COP). Seems to have a nice taste, so I grafted the herefordshire russet onto my mother tree, until I want a tree grafted from this variety. It grows well on my rubinola mother tree.
