How many years has your friend had the Belle de Boskoop?

Sometimes even a very susceptible cultivar will make it through one or two croppings before being nailed during the next epiphytotic.

Subject: [NAFEX] Gravenstein in KY?

 Does anyone here have any experience raising Gravenstein apples in Kentucky?  Is the cultivar sufficiently disease-tolerant to make it here?

A friend of mine says he raises Belle de Boskoop without any problems here.  I would have thought that fireblight would take B de B.  If Boskoop can be grown here, maybe Gravenstein??
