So far it seems very resistant to CAR. No signs of infection the past two seasons; and this is a very high-pressure area, with loads of eastern red cedars full of “apples.” (Even King David gets a speck of CAR here and there.) It establishes well (my second best grower among my new apples—after King David), and looks to have a tendency toward precocity: bloomed second year on G.969. Looks like it will be quite spurry. That’s all I know from my brief personal experience.
