Kevin (and others):

     Our experience with Bramley is as follows.
 1.  It is moderately scab resistant (as someone said), but sensative to
fireblight.
 2.  It is not a pollinator (triploid) and flowers are somewhat sensative to
frost damage.
 3.  Quality is poor for fresh eating, okay (not great) for pies.  Many are
superior here--including Suncrisp, Spigold and Sweet 16.
 4.  Nothing outstanding about it except its large fruit size.

ed, So. Indiana, heaven, etc.
