I had terrible maggot problems on all of my apples, but never has been a problem on the pears, Comiche and bartlett. Peaches used to give high yields of perfect fruit, but old trees gave out and new ones I planted have disease problems. I dont like Frost because it seems mealy to me compared to the Reliance, but reliance requires spray for curl.

Ive seen a lot of fruit trees in my area growing in some really crappy clay soil as long as there is some good soil mounded up to plant in.
