Alan, they seem to just squeeze under the wire here in the mid- 
atlantic so I would put them in the south wall espalier category for  
you.  This is based on local trees I have seen in early November (just  
pickable and requiring several months of cold storage).  My own Pink  
Lady has not fruited yet.

I am no expert on apple harvest timing; it could be the variety  
tolerates an unusually early harvest, or you can let it hang well into  
winter, and for one of these reasons it could work up there without  
need for the south wall treatment.
