I got my first golden apple today. It was from an apple tree within my orchard of 27 apples, pears and oranges. This apple tree is on the outer edge of the grove with a pear and orange flanking it. There is room between the trees to plant another two trees.

I am waiting for the result of the paired trees which are planted right next to each other so that they are abutting and seemed joined looking from the canapy.
