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.

 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??
