Looked at Weston Nursery. Last visted over 12-14 years ago--pricey then.

This is a semi dwarf listed above based on the mature size of the tree. Interesting that the lifespan is listed at 50 years. THis contradicts my understnading that it is the standards that are long lived, not the dwarfed stock. ORchardist apprently must replace trees on a regular basis. The informaion my simply be a cut and paste data source, applied to all apples regardless of rrootstock. It is rather misleading.

THe variety info is an interesting read. The treees are described based on the ornamental value in the landscape and the high up keep and messiness of fruit mentioned. Just a different take based on use.
