So, though I messed up and once again did not get around to reproducing my tree, it did give us a happy amount of apples this year.
I probably should have picked them a week ago. Have been eating them off the tree for a month, as they were ripe mid September, and now we have a lot that fell to the ground and were bruised up. Still taste great though.
Besides the Kleffman apple tree, we have a Cortland in the yard as well. Just for comparison, there is an average sized Kleffman, and a really large Cortland. Maybe 20% bigger.
Kleffman’s on the left, Cortlands on the right.
I really am looking forward to creating an orchard out of these on the farm we bought up north. Another project to plan for.
