  Quite dense fleshed large apples. Sweet. interesting flavour No acid. Laborious to eat a whole one. Healthy tree. I just wish I'd planted something else.

  I'd confirm the upright growth habit. We have one tree on MM111, which is 8 years old and fruiting for the previous 3 years, with light crops. It's supposed to be stored and at it's best in January, will put a few aside this year and see how sweet they get.

  I've been growing this variety for a while, but unfortunately have lost two trees in the past due to the rootstock suffering from disease apparently brought with them from the nursery. I now have one doing well on MM111 rootstock. The tree has fairly good all-round disease resistance which should tolerate most growing regions. The tree forms very narrow branch angles which could make a very tall and narrow tree unless guided by good pruning in its early years. Recommended.
