How wonderful!

That's a great seedling, Mary!

Would be good if it reblooms in our zones, too... :-) does it have good increase?

Last year I swore an oath I'd never put pollen on Winesap again,

since nearly everything I got was almost identical to it in form and

branching. This one is either a year late with it's maiden or has

improved beyond recognition. Can't believe I would have missed that

beard last year, though, no matter what else was going on.

It has a triple terminal and 2 actual, good branches. I was so amazed,

I didn't believe the marker. Went clear to the start and counted rows

to be sure.

BTW - the favorite spring maiden has a redder variegata sib with a

spent primary and blooming on increase. Not as wide, but not bad.

More reason to suspect the pod parent could have rebloomed, given

half a chance.

Chuck - That's exactly what I thought. Quite a gamble, though.
