I have tried to grow Elstar here on the Oregon coast for several years.
It keeps dying back from Bullseye so I have never had a crop.
I am trying to keep it going for a couple more years.
Grafted it on a different tree this year to see if that will make a
difference.
There seem to be some apples that are very susceptible to bullseye and I
have given up on a couple of them already
