We have one of Stark's miniature Golden Delicious trees. It doesn't seem to
know it's miniature -- it's about 10' tall now. (The graft is well above
ground level.)
The fruit is fine when we get it. Four years ago, when it was about half
that size, it set a lot of fruit. I left about 15 apples to ripen. The
next year it didn't bloom, and two years ago it had two or three blooms.
Last year it set some fruit, but we lost it all. I think I should have
sprayed.
