This Redskin is the first time we’ve ever tried a fruit tree, and so far I’m impressed. I was told that it would take three years to get any real fruit and the first few years of the tree’s life would concentrate on growing strong branches and leaves. Well, it looks like we are off to a decent start. The above pic was taken day of planting, the one below yesterday. The tree is already taller than us and healthier than Sly Stallone during the filming of “Rocky II.”
