Virginia Beauty Apple

Ours has a few spurs so with any luck we should get a few apples this year. I don’t remember whether I grafted it on 111 or 118 but it looks like it would like to be a big tree, this will be the fifth leaf here. If we do get fruit this year or next I think it’ll settle in and be a nice tree it already has lots of horizontal wood. For us Powdery Mildew is the biggest concern and Virginia Beauty seems unaffected. I’ve never tried the fruit and have never spoken to anyone who has but she’s a “beauty” so it has to be good right? Seriously though it has proven to be a healthy trouble free tree so unless the apple is terrible I think ol’ Zach Safwright’s discovery is gonna be here awhile.
