We just picked the 4 apples our 3 year old Pristine / Bud 9 bore year - its
first .
Real beauties! It's from their disease resistant PRI series.
I'd say it is even better than its description. More like a cross with a fine
pear.
It got fair snow coverage this winter and last but it may well have seen
minus 38F so
far.
