Owner's comments

It should have a spicy taste after a long warm season. I have grafted D'arcy spice on my rubinola mother tree. It has 2-3 branches an somewhere on these are 2 apple beginnings this year (2020) I took a lot of time until this graft was ready to bear fruits, even though it is just 2 apples. I'd like to taste these with my family.
