Hi Ed and all. I wondered if the name implied a PA growth.  Ed, do you
know anything about its attributes? I am in zone 6b Northern VA-this
might be a good one to grow--I was certainly very impressed.

I assume it will grow in my area as I am not that far from PA. I am
wondering about disease resistance and suckering from the roots
primarily.  I will also do some research on the PA ag sites as well.

Thanks, Barbara

Barbara:

     It originated from PennState University many years back.  It is
either
a cross with York Imperial (or, more likely a chance seedling from
York).
And I should say it is a far better apple than York.
