Inconsistent pollination between these two adjacent trees culminating in one with little fruit the other a reasonable amount, but nowhere near as much as last year. Both had similar amount of blossom.2022
Spring blossom: 15 May
Size: 2.0m / 6.7ft high
Latest of all four varieties, (also latest cropper so not surprising). As with the others looks to be a good cropping year on this variety. Doesn't appear to be troubled by aphids, or indeed other pests.
