According to Trees of Antiquity, it is "one of the best for fire blight resistance." For some parts of the country, that would be key to growing it. Some apples are susceptible and cannot survive in an organic orchard out this way, for instance (Spokane, WA.) I have yet to find the Geneva test results for FB resistance. Will look and report once it is found. Since I grow my own apples, I avoid those reputed to be FB susceptible, but so far have not had any difficulties without sprays.Nutting Bumpushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05998222727132609240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-14022951774835889512014-02-10T13:03:52.860-05:002014-02-10T13:03:52.860-05:00@Anon, that is good to know.

Can you provide a link or a cite?<br /><br />Please note that this is a blog that describes apples from my point of view, and I. alas, am not a farmer.<br /><br />So my descriptions omit a lot of information of interest to farmers and orchardists, including disease resistance, cold hardiness, and pollination notes.<br /><br />I'm sorry my opinionated catalog of apples can't be a one-stop reference for everyone. It's above my pay grade.<br /><br />Growers should rely on the USDA and on state agricultural extension offices for information about diseases.<br /><br />If you can provide a source for Splendour and fireblight, I'll add it to the description.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-69909997754671481432014-02-09T08:50:27.537-05:002014-02-09T08:50:27.537-05:00Splendour test highest of any apple ever tested at...Splendour test highest of any apple ever tested at Geneva USDA apple research station for fire blight resistance. Why don't all apple descriptions feature specific disease resistance? <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
