Dwarf Apple - Red Delicious (Seedling) ^7/10

The birds pick at it when the fruit is tiny, and thin it out for me. By the time the fruit rippens the birds have gone off it, and we get lovely apples:)

Dwarf Apple - Pink Lady (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

I LOVE this apple! Compared to those in the supermarkets, nothing even comes close! I remember the first apple I ate from this tree. It was a dark pink, as I  bit into it I felt the juices dribbling down my mouth, and a burst of flavour delivered to my senses. Total extasy! The sweetness, with a hint of tartness, and the power and flavour of a hundred store bought apples, meant that I spent the entire afternoon, gauging myself on every apple on the tree!

This tree is the one that started it all for me. I now have five apple, five pear, two plum, two peach, one nectarine, five passionfruit, ten grapes, six citrus, two cherry, three gauva, two mulberry and four olives! This tree started an obsession.

 Dwarf Granny Smith purchased early Feb 2010 to aid pollination for my pinkabells, and of course to eat and cook with :) It is nearly at full height and I know it will produce well as it had fruit when I purchased it from Tass1, but I removed them before transplanting.

Comments

Partnered with the Dorsett, Not as good cropping but I think thats because of the shape. Trying to get more laterals.

pretty sure the kuffel creek book said anna took a little while then went nuts. Needed lots of thinning. Dorsett is an animal - no apple will keep up with it in early years
