If you are in Maine, I'm not sure that my experience with Enterprise will be of any value to you. FWIW, though, Enterprise on M26 is an early cropper (2nd year for me), good tasting with good size. The only problem I had with it was that the birds and squirrels also loved the fruit and so my share of the crop was always significantly reduced compared to what the tree made. Very wide crotch angles and healthy. I got many complements on my first tree that was growing in a suburban setting.
