Guys;                    I planted 8 of these Keepsakes in 2004. To date, 
they have yielded a few small pitiful apples each year. I think they suck. 
Can anybody tell me a good reason why I shouldn't topwork 7 of 8 ? Am I 
jumping the gun on these trees? They're big, strong trees; pitiful 
crop......... Also, Summer Rambo. Probably the strongest, biggest trees in my 
orchard. Timid crop as usual. Educate me! Otherwise; I had a decent crop of 
20 ounce, pristine, williams pride, opalescent, golden russet, hidden rose,  
pound sweet. Macoun, Wolf river, sweet 16 all farted out. Murph
