Biggest Apple tree I ever topworked

[Native Hunter]

This one was a whopper, and I wasn't sure if it would work out. However, after 2 years the space is almost completely closed in, and the trees is loaded with blooms this year. This was an American Summer Pearmain, and I never ate an apple off of it for several years. I could not grow the cultivar successfully in no spray. However, in the second year after topworking to Priscilla, I had several apples, and this year it appears we will have a bumper crop.

How are you liking the Priscilla, Native? Eat any? Drop time for you?

It’s my top eating apple and the DR is excellent. I now have 4 Priscillas. The drop time is too early for deer hunting.

Thanks for the info! Glad you found Priscilla to be a good eater. I haven't gotten to try a Priscilla yet from camp. We have 2 there. Some of the other members that live much closer to camp can at least grab some for eating. They're too early up here for deer hunting too, but they at least help pollinate other trees since we have so many varieties in the main orchard. Any DR apple or crab is OK with us!
