Is your Quinte a graft? When you graft a mangosteen branch onto rootstock
it still thinks it's a branch and grows sideways - I wonder what other
fruits behave the same?
Having live most of my life in Minnesota with brief sojourns to other
States, I have learned that it takes approximately twenty to thirty years
for Minnesotans to catch on to trends set in other States.
As for my Quinte, it is grafted on a Sweet Sixteen and I have no idea
what the rootstock is. And, no, it doesn't grow sideways, more like a
weeping willow. Would it be a "Weeping Apple?"
