When are Ashmead's Kernal apples ready to pick in the No. Illinois, So. 
Wisconsin area, which is Zone 4b?  I'm hoping Dennis Norton and a few others 
in that area will respond if they have grown this apple.  My first crop of 
eight perfect bagged apples are looking good, and I'm anxious to sample one 
of my favorites, having waited three years!
