Summary[edit]
| Description |
This tree is very productive. Based on last year, some of these apples will be touching 1 kg in October. I have another Bramley's in the garden that is on a bigger rootstock and it produces more than 10 times as many apples but never produces one apple over 500 g. we are having a poor summer - cool and wet but that suits the apple trees. Not so good for the honey crop - i will probably get about 25% of the honey that I harvested last year. Four weeks ago in the sunny warmth it seemed to winding up to be a bumper year for honey. Then the rainy weather started and the bees had to consume stores rather than store honey. But i am happy to go with the flow, none of it is important to me economically, and any mood effects can be put into perspective by listening to the news on the radio. My one annual beekeeping stat that I remember for years each year is colony winter survival ....anything less than 90% is problematic to my conscience. This year I will have a lot of nucs (small, half sized, colonies) overwintering so may need to reduce my conscience threshold to 75% but still hope for 90% phone picture
