Owner's comments
Good, regular cropper. Good for eating, snappy, sweet-acid. Picked later than you might think since needs a frost to 'finish them off right'. Pretty apple with white-white-white flesh, and red flushed (over green) skin. Winters here are long, have 3 to 6 feet of snow, and temperatures vary, with average of -8 to -15 degrees C., about 10 to 15 days will see -20 to -25 degrees C., and there is usually a damp northwesterly wind off the lakes.Season records for this tree
