2013 grafted with scion from Fedco, Maine. One on a south branch of wild apple 'Splitter' (east of shop), and a second on a low branch of wild seedling whose main graft is Honeycrisp by the outhouse. It sounds like an interesting and good apple (see online notes at bottom of page) and I look forward to tasting the fruit. 2021 - #1 (Splitter) vigorous, healthy growth. #2 (outhouseHC) OK. 2019 - #1 Splitter more vigorous (older tree), healthy. #2 slow growing but doing OK.
2018
- #1 - Good 5-12"
growth side branches & several longer shoots. Looks good.
2017 - #1 - Good growth, healthy,
light blight/insect presence. 2015 - #1 - good growth. #2 - growing but still thin, looks rough a few inches of stem around graft but guess is OK. 2014 - (#1) - Cut back 1/3 long shoot. Turned out all last years shoot winterkilled. Thankfully some shoots growing on prev year’s growth. (#2) - growing fine, but rather thin. 2013 - Scion from Fedco. (#1) - grafted on south branch of wild "splitter" tree east of shop. Finally popped 6/27! Grew fine. (#2) - grafted on east branch of "Honeycrisp2" apple by outhouse. 6/16 a bit of green showing at both buds. Hurray!
Online Notes: Fall-Winter.
Delicious fresh eating with distinct pear flavor, firm white juicy, mildly tart
flesh. Steadily gaining a devoted following. Medium-sized slightly ribbed and
muffin-shaped fruit has a soft opaque greenish-yellow skin with a rosy pink
blush, a russet veil, and a greyish bloom. Produces excellent juice. Pick late
and eat them in the fall and all winter. Ttres growing in Fairfield, Maine.
Annually bearing easy-to-grow medium-sized spreading tree. Probably Skowhegan,
ME, before 1870. Z4-6. |
