  This year 2016 my TLO is loaded! Semi-dwarf tree was planted 8 years ago. Definitely appears to be biennial. I thinned the fruit out this year taking off approx. 2-300 fruits leaving about 100. I have had to support the tree due to the weight of the fruit and thinness of branches. Two years ago I had branches shear off the tree due to the problem - I learned my lesson! Great eating apple - my wife thinks it one of the best flavoured apples she has tasted. Unfortunately so do the black bears that live around Squamish - question is can I leave them to fully ripen knowing once the bears can smell any overripe ones the tree will be stripped clean in a night. When does this apple fully ripen? (now Sep 17) Can it be stored and if so when should I pick?

  Just got first crop of TLO in NW VA. Complex tasty flavor, turning deeper red when fully ripe. Young tree did contract fireblight, had to do trunk renewal but doing great now. Not quite as good as King David for me in warm VA, but close.

  I rate this just barely below the Karmijn. Great mix of sweet-tart. Large, crisp, and simply an outstanding eat. Only bought one apple and kicked myself for not getting an entire box! Just writing this is making me crave one.

  Went to Jack Feil's orchard October 15, '11 and got some TLO. Wow, good size and wonderful flavor. Big enough to feed two out of hand. A definite choice for grafting onto one of my trees out back. Favor is brighter than King David, and every bit as complex.

  Jack, I visited your fruit stand in October where I tasted my first Lady, Golden Russet, Karmijn de Sonnaville and a few others. Great stuff. When did TLO ripen this year? I want to find your stand again next year and try it.

  size large,no russet, color is red, taste very good with a sweet/ tart balance, somewhat shy bi-annual bearing. Our location has hot summertime temperatures, is arid with a cool fall with spells of rain.

  Tydeman's Late Orange is one of my best performers (Cambs, UK) - growing and fruiting well, without much attention. In this area, T.L.O. has better resistance to mildew than its late-keeping relative "Winston" and has slightly better resistance to scab damage to the fruits in my environment. T.L.O. has less leaf scab resistance and less canker resistance than Winston, so perhaps not so well suited as Winston in higher rainfall areas. T.L.O. also has a bit less pest resistance than Winston (has thinner skin than Winston; easier for pests to break the skin), but, like Winston, T.L.O. is very fertile so some losses to pests can be tolerated: the pests naturally "thin" the crop for you and the remaining apples reach a better size. Vigour is considerably greater than Winston and T.L.O produces quite long, slender branches that get thrown around by the wind. The fruit spurs of T.L.O are also quite brittle and are prone to breaking off under stress or in windy conditions. I consider the flavour of T.L.O. to be superior to Winston.

  Hi, I tasted this apple today and loved it!! I was wondering if it is a baking apple or if just an eating fresh apple? I agree with what you say about it.
