Owner's comments
Devonshire quarrenden is a must in every orchard. I have tasted yellow transparent, but did not like it..goes mealy very quickly. So I decided to graft some Devonshire quarrenden onto an m9 rootstock and on my rubinola mother tree. This year is wants to produce 4 apples. Since it should be growing, I will allow just one apple on this twig. It's height is under 1 metre and this is the first time that it produces a small crop. I'll share this apple with my family.Season records for this tree
