Owner's comments

I got this scion wood for free. It is a very rare variety. I grafted it onto my rubinola mother tree. I have read internet descriptions about this apple, and it is not to my fancy, but I will keep it, because it doesn't deserve to go extinct and I do not toss a present away. It grows well on my mother tree which I use as a grafting bank.
