Karmijn de Sonnaville Apple

I love this sour tasting apple and it produces large apples

Disappointing apple, or disappointing transport.....

I ordered and received this apple last year. It looked nice and had plenty (of small) leaves already. Did my best to plant it where it would like it. However it did not do anything, no growth of the leaves etc. After a month or two the leaves dried up, the tree had received plenty of water). I contacted Raintree and they said they would refund it. I will try again. I think the tree was frozen or got to dry during transport. (we live in New Mexico). I do like Raintree's service a lot!

Is it really like lime and kumquat?

Jacobsen's apple book calls the Karmijn a "seldom seen but universally adored" rarity, and as an acid charged "spherical margarita," so how could I resist. I'm a little worried that it "struggles" in a damp climate like that of western WA, but it's worth a try. As usual, my Raintree tree was in excellent condition.
