Owner's comments
I have 4 Bardsey Island apple (Afal Ynys Enlli) trees growing in my orchard. Very disease resistant. The first tree was planted in 2004 and the others in 2005 and in 2006. In 2014 it produced a bumper crop. I had so many apples that I used more than half of the crop to produce fresh unpasteurised apple juice. What a lovely flavour. For those who live in a rainly climate and would like to plant an easy apple tree with excellent quality eating apples Bardsey Island apple is the one to plant.Season records for this tree
