I recently heard about a new Univ of Minn introduction that is going to be 
sold under restrictions that amount almost to the orchard "leasing" the tree 
and paying a royalty based on the number of bushels sold. I wonder is 
Snowsweet is the apple that I heard about.   I notice that there are no 
retail orchards listed for the Snowsweet.

Subject: [NAFEX] New apple variety released by U of MN in 2006: Snowsweet


I happened to run into this new U of MN apple (Snowsweet) searching the net 
for Zestar info:
http://www.apples.umn.edu/nurseries/snowben.html 
 
 
They have a list of licenced nurseries who are carrying it (only 8 in the 
country):
http://www.apples.umn.edu/nurseries/nurseries.html, just in case you want to 
be one of the first to order. The U of MN doesn't release apples very often, 
so they are usually worth sinking your teeth into when they do.
