So there is a tree at my in-laws that is much younger than the homestead, I'd say this one is more around the 50 yr mark. Its much shorter as well, must have been a 'known' rootstock with a grafted variety I'd suspect but I can't prove that. Its an earlier apple, I'd say it ripens around 1st week in October and I'm done pickin up the apples by very early November.
I call it 'Hren's Cat Eye' as their last name is Hren, however they don't like the taste of it. Oddly I've never tried to eat it I just feed it to the deer. Its a catywompus shaped fruit that is for sure. It's shaped much like Calville Blanc D'hiver & has the same coloring so... maybe?
I'm going to grafted a few limbs over to other varieties. When you guys do this do you focus on bloom times for all the varieties included?
