In 1966 I purchased an abandoned farm for recreational purposes. There was
a number of feral apple trees around the property. One tree appears to be a
natural dwarf. The apples are a medium size, cream colored with a pink
blush and ripen in August. They are a great pie apple. I have
grown out some root suckers to see if it is really a dwarf on its own
roots; it is. This tree is a real survivor; the tree is still around today;
it has never been sprayed or pruned; it survives -30F temperatures and is not
much bigger than it was in 1966. I am currently using it as a root stock. It
appears to be more dwarfing than Ottawa-3.
