Owner's comments

In search of tasty apple varieties I came upon court of wick. I must admit, that I have never tasted a single apple from this tree. It is bearing the beginnings of apples this year. Maybe I will be able to have a taste along with my family. Just to give it a rating. The tree is growing very slowly on the m9 rootstock and is quite small.
