Season records for this tree

    Spring blossom: 21 May
    Strange year for these. The self seeded in the hedge closest to other trees has produced reasonable amount of fruit. The other in the garden that has always produced heavy crops has nothing at all this year.

    Inherited these trees (haven't registered before). One mature tree in garden and also self-seeded tree in hedge. Have always cropped well and not had any particular problems with pests. The self-seeded hedge tree probably helps with pollination of some of the other four varieties, as is quite close to them. Along with the crab apple in the top hedge.
