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.
