Spring blossom: 29 April
Size:
2.0m / 6.7ft high 1.5m / 5.0ft wide Codling moth: Mild attack Suffered badly with aphids early in the season. Plenty of fruit, but mainly small - possibly trying to do too much for a small tree. Good flavour, however. Pruning over the winter and more support next year needed.
