Re: my comments on the accuracy of Crawford's book. Maiden Blush is not
a tip bearer, nor is Crimson Beauty. Or, they bear as you've described,
mostly on spurs.
Re: the "tip bearing habit" of Gala, Golden, etc., these fruits are
typically much smaller as flower buds are not mature. Or, the largest fruit
comes from 2-3 year spurs.
