Rather lacking in juice, very mild subacid,
lacking in richness but fairly pleasant.
"Fair to good" in quality - This is a
higher rating than given some seasons

The roots appear to have a great
deal of crown gall, or woolly aphis.
Tree is poor, small and weak.  If this is
the real character of the tree, it is worthless.
If due to roots, they apear
to be very susceptible to
whatever is affecting them.
Soil where trees stand is poor and
thin.  This may leave something
to do with their condition.
