We thin the flowers and fruit a lot to encourage strong woody growth, as our site is quite windy (and we want a big tree soon!).
The fruit is very good - not quite as crisp in texture as a Cox's, it is nonetheless delicious and we prefer them fresh, when they are still really tangy. They are best cooked when fresh as well - the only downside for us with this apple is that it doesn't store terribly well and so we usually juice and freeze all the apples that remain after a few weeks.
