Thanks David, that sounds like a good possibility since there was a neighbor 
here in the Hollow back when it was planted, who sold trees from Stark Bros. 
Maybe they really aren't large but a real good medium  :-)  It is an 
extremely shy bearer. Lucky suggested Red Astrachan which may be more 
productive than this tree is. Any tree that produces is probably more 
productive than this one. ................vic
