Title: Message

Thanks, Ed, for the information.  Evidently, like some other University of Minnesota cultivars, Frostbite does not do well in areas with a much warmer growing season.  It will be interesting to see just how far south it can be grown without losing its characteristic flavor. -- Sam

Sam:

 

     As info, MN 447 as grown in S. Indiana tastes like a "frostbitten" apple or it could not tolerate the heat at all and any flavor was not detectable.

Frostbite nips the competition     MN 447 has been around for more than 90 years and is a grandparent of the HoneyCrisp apple.  But now, believing the public is ready for stronger fruit flavors, the U will take it public, under the name Frostbite. (From University of Minnesota NEWS)
