Best tasting apples

Congrats Matt, is that your first of that variety? What kind of flavors did it have?

I just planted two Grimes Golden’s this spring on G.16 rootstock, one was a 7/16 and the other a 9/16". They seem to have grown really well over these first four months. Both have sprouted a vigorous central leader but not a lot of side shoot branches. They also got hit with a moderate case of CAR, but a lot of my other trees did as well. I was surprised that they also sprouted some blossoms in May considering they were just 3 foot whips when planted.

At any rate, I was wondering if anyone had opinions on this variety. I did a search on the site, and didn’t find a lot of critiques on it. Considering the rootstock and variety when should these start producing its first decent harvest?
