Dwarf Apple - Granny Smith

Only planted a week or two ago, after receiving it bare rooted. On transplanting from the pot it was over-wintered in, it had already developed a substantial root ball, enough to keep all the potting mix with the roots. Wow! Full of flowers and pruned nicely into a potential fan or espalier - I'm doing the latter. Very impressed with its health, vigour and presentation
