Keven, I meant to address my last email to you. I have silt loam, holds a
little more water a little longer than sandy loam, but the one 118 I have
here on our property is doing very well. What is your opinion on the sandy
loam angle, faster drainage?

The letter from Kevin Versnyder does not appear in my inbox, but in your
included reference it makes me ask this question:
Does someone have information that Geneva 202 influences fruit size, or
produces bud-union failures?

In late March 2009 I saw amazing block of Honeycrisp on B118 very close
to Gebber's pack house in WA. The rows were 8' apart but I do not remember
the other spacing. I would like to see the block now but at the time it
was very impressive.

Hugh, I have some honeys on bud 118 at 4 ft apart and it's working
well. I have sandy loam soil so that's the only reason it's working. Return
bloom hasn't been spectacular so I really think more dwarfing stocks are
the way to go or maybe simply blossom thinning would be the answer? This
year I put them in on g202 so hopefully the smaller apple it produces will
help with bitter pit. We did lose 51 trees to bud union failure before we
even got them out of the box. It sounds like g41 offers the best return
bloom similar to g30 which is the best I've seen.
