That looks great. What rootstock is yours on?

Mine was a maiden whip on m26, from Burnt Ridge. The deer ate so much new growth, I would be surprised if it flowers next year. The deer like to cut through our yard to avoid a heavy-traffic road. I will have to close up the gaps in the fence, or cage the trees.
One deer broke part of a neighbor’s fence, and got trapped in her back yard all night. The stupid thing stripped her gardens bare.

Vincent,
If your tree really is on M27, it will be super dwarf rootstock. It will needs staking.
M7 is a semi dwarf rootstock. It tends to lean if not stake.

Interesting. I bought mine for 2018 from Raintree and it was on MM106. That was a first for me, I generally use M26, but that was all they had available.

No fruits yet? Hopefully next Spring. MM106 rootstock will creates bigger size of Apple trees than M26. More fruits later.

Agreed, probably 2022 for fruiting. I don’t see any flower buds or spurs yet. It got a little set back by deer and minimal watering last year. It’s by mature trees that don’t need water so was easy to overlook.
