A rather low vigor tree on dwarfing rootstocks. Tends to be upright in the early years but spreads somewhat once cropping begins. Blooms late and productivity has been low at this site.
Foliage is prone to chlorosis and cupping along the margins, which leads to an unthrifty appearance.
The cause and effect of this condition has not been determined. Low susceptibility to rosy apple aphid and spotted tentiform leafminer. Moderately susceptible to European red mite and white apple leafhopper. Highly susceptible to Japanese beetle. Moderately susceptible to powdery mildew, cedar apple rust, and fire blight, and low susceptibility to scab.
