I’m ordering one through Chris Pool (Turkey Creek Trees) for Iowa. Anyone familiar with it?

The Hawkeyes suck. Oh wait, you're talking about trees.

Hawkeye is the original Red Delicious. I haven't eaten one, but it is reported to be much better eating than modern R.D.

Hawkeye originated in Iowa as I recall. I grafted one here a number of years ago. It hung on with no growth for a couple years, then a winter got it. It should be fine further south

Chris Pool said Des Moines area. I’m directly west of DM.
