Barb,

I hope the Dolgo crop is better in your area than it will be here this
year. We have three trees that normally give us at least ten times
more than we could ever use but, this year will be a bust. Late frost
at blossom time and then a crappy, cool, wet summer so far. We also
try to be as organic as possible and don't spray so the whole
combination means few apples, mostly very small, deformed and with
quite a bit of mildew/rust. Good only for compost.
It's a good thing we made lots of jelly last year.

Ross.
