That sounds delicious.
It took about 4 years for my apple trees to get their acts togther after we planted them.
I ordered a ‘Pixie Crunch’ this year. We had one already but decided on another one as it was on sale. They are yummy too.
I had a vision of harvesting nuts from the pecans, hickories and filberts. These hardwoods would do well here in the woody Ozarks.
We have tremendous hickories but no fruit after 10 years. Pecans produced a half handful of “immature nuts” that were of no value.
I don’t think I’ve had a pixie crunch. There is a big orchard about a 45 min drive from me - most years we go and pick apples. They have lots of varieties, but mostly the usual ones. I have determined that when it comes to apple pie - I like the way the Gala tastes and the texture of the slices, so I am trying to grow my own. I think I do have a problem with pollination though, because my little tree hasn’t blossomed in the past two years (now that I think about it) because the deer have viciously attacked it in the winter. Even when we have netted it. :(
