This is an interesting tabulation of resistance and susceptibility
to several diseases for a number of mostly older apples grown by householders in Minnesota.

I was interested to see a reminder of why Wolf River is a pretty good utility apple for zone 4 even if it's a bit on the bland side in
flavour. In my limited experience the texture is quite nice when
grown here in the Niagara Peninsula in Agriculture Canada zone 7a,
near the northern limit of commercial peach growing.
