    Netty, You may be waiting a looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong time on that northern spy. They sometimes take 20 years to produce apples. :eek: which is why it is not a commercial apple crop tree. I do hear it is worth the wait, though. I hope it isn't that long to get an apple for you.

    Really Carolyn? I had not heard that about the Northern Spy! It did have an apple on it when I bought it (it was soon knocked off and stepped on OOPS!) so hopefully I won't be waiting too long.

    Yep... I did read that in one of my fruit catalogs. It sounds promising though that you already saw one on the tree. Maybe you won't have to wait too long for a nice crop.
