This tree is great in our cooler summer area, I don't know how it does in hot areas. In my experience it is NOT very resistant to powdery...Read More mildew but it has good resistance to scab in our scab loving climate. It ripens in early to mid September here and only keeps a few weeks, but if you have extras it makes wonderful dried apples and probably would be good for sauce, too, with a large, easy to peel and process size. Good taste and crispy while it lasts, kind of like a well ripened Golden Delicious but bigger and not exactly the same taste, but it is a sweet apple.
