That's very interesting. Other details? (x-ploid, size of crop,
bearing habits, etc)


I'm collecting a cutting from a rootstock tree this autumn - the top of
the tree died when it was blown over, but the stump sprouted and is now
a small tree. The apples are evenly pale green and have four
more-or-less flat sides, and are a tad longer than they are wide.

They are a good cooker.
