[NAFEX] 447 and another question

Can't speak to the status of MN1914 as a club apple or not but will say there are a variety of different management schemes for club apples.  Generally speaking, the growers do not own the trees, the "Club" does.  The grower then pays royalties for amount produced, and/or the number of acres planted.  Usually there is also an upfront fee for being allowed access to those varieties in the first place as well.

Hi Deb,

Snowsweet is one of MN newest releases.  Released in 2006.  I wonder if
 it's
also possible the apple was MN1914 which has been test released under
 the
managed or "club system" ( Some of the apple folks may offer a
 correction,
but I think this is the system where the grower, instead of actually
 owning
the tree, pays a royalty for each bushel of apples sold.)  I believe
 these
are the newest releases of University of MN.

Snowsweet is not released under the club system, but is patented.
