Derry. I am envious of the 3' snow cover she gets, don't know what size trees 
she id
after. With snow cover I'd consider bud 9 or even m 26. I saw plenty  of bud 
9 and ottawa
3 in Sask, with no reliable snow cover. Much of my planting's rootstock  is 
renetka, and
a new batch of Bud9.
 I will be posting apple results later from our  -43F bottom winter once its 
clear all
the blooming is done - it's midway now. So far results are very encouraging 
for the first
real bloom on my experimental orchard.
