I wonder if Keepsake likes heat.  We do have hot summers here in Idaho Zone
6.  That means that Cox and Karminj were pretty much of a loss for me. But
my Keepsake takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'.

Basically I tend to think that if a tree does not like where it is..
something else will 7 years is long enough to prove itself, or not as the
case may be.

Subject: [nafex] keepsake apples


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
