  1. The old Esopus Spitzenburg tree. I think I transplanted it here in 2012, it was probably 3 years old from seedling if it wasn't just a root sucker if the other tree is grafted on a spitz root stock because it doesn't grow very fast either. So probably 15 years old. I haven't pruned it much if ever except to get wood for the grafts I did. It might be 10 feet tall now with a 4 inch trunk maybe.

  2. The Jonathan's. 7 milk crates from the big tree and almost a full tubtrug from the one graft limb on the gravenstein tree.

  3. The last spitz picked, it was the only one on those trees I needed to use the ladder to pick and it looks great.

  4. It's time to pick apples. Here's what I'm calling the spitz, or Esopus Spitzenburg apples picked off the two trees. Maybe about 13 gallons or 50 liters in volume.
