Comments (43)Hello iandyaz, late spring is best for cutting and planting. Wait till the new leaves are about 3 inches long then cut the main branch, let the new cutting dry and callous over, maybe 3,4 or 5 days. Then plant only 3 to 5 inches deep. The roots will take over for stability. I have rooted 2 inche thick branches as well. It all grows. Air layering is cool and grafting works even faster! Graft on to another plant and no waiting for roots to form Oh and the darker the color as in dark red, can take months to root. Cheers!

If we are talking of the original, then it appears it is sensitive to climate, soil, nitrogen, or all three. As grown here, I think it is the best pie and sauce apple grown in my orchard over 26 years, and it is one of the best fresh dessert apples... If you like a rich-flavored, multi-purpose apple, this ancient one has stood the test of time, and it should at least be tried in many climates, despite differing reports. It needs early (from bud swell) and thorough spraying for consistent quality"...See Moretdogdad
