Hey folks . . .

 

I'm trying to track down a good reference showing ripening times for a wide range of heirloom apples.  Books like 'The Book of Apples' certainly offer a lot of this information, but I can't help but wonder if their info is based on a different USDA Zone.  If it is, how does one adapt this info to fit their own Zone?  I've seen a few ripening charts in books and a couple online, but very few seem to address the more obscure apples. 

 

Any/all suggestions appreciated.  Thanks.

 

John
