Jim,
My favorite early apple here is Vista Bella. It has withstood temps
below -40F/C. It ripens over several weeks. It is hard to pick and each
apple must be caught at just the right moment. It is then CRISP (for a
summer apple). The flavor is wonderful for the season, although if Vista
Bella came on in September I wouldn't notice it at all. I made an apple pie
on the Fourth of July this past summer. Ripe enough for eating out of hand a
week later. It should ripen for you in August.
Steve H. Lone Rock, WI with a low so far this winter of -25F
