Apples are generally late blooming. Need full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate fertility. Thin fruit to maximize quality and size. Susceptible to codling moth, apple scab, powdery mildew, and gophers. Generally self-fertile, which means that the variety is pollinated by itself, and is a great pollinizer for different varieties of the same fruit. Harvest 4-5th year. Suggested spacing is 20 feet apart.
