Hello Addicts;

Connell Red

I have all the text book descriptions of these apples, but they may leave out such things as, 'not precocious, bad keeper, apple maggot magnet, drops fruit too early, grows slow, poor crotch angles, whatever.

 

These apples will be for Roadside Sale for fresh eating, and the leftovers go into the cider press. I am going to buy about 20 trees; maybe 30, on M111 or EMLA 7 stock.

I have no plans to buy 'cider' apples.

 

Thanks in advance for your opinions, good or bad.

 

Murph
