In 3 years, My sugarloaf grows lengthy, almost as lengthy as a Keitt but a tad more dense. It has very little issues with disease. Responds well to pruning. This past season, As Alex Salazar explained upon reviewing pictures of my tree in bloom: he told me sugarloaf tends to have a Majority of male flowers. For me this meant I only had three fruits on my small tree, sadly they were all knocked off in a wind storm when they were chicken-egg sized. He also explained although they sometimes have fewer female flowers, the few female flowers usually have high probability of becoming fruit. I’m willing to allocate space for my tree, as long as it takes. I may even top work another one of my trees over to E4, it is my favorite of the 80 or so varieties I’ve tasted.
