regarding frozen apples
our experience is that below a certain temp FOR A CERTAIN PERIOD OF
TIME the apples lose much of the flavor and the snap we can go as
low as low as 26 successfully but i would say below 26 for enough
hours to freeze the apple solid would be the death knoll if it warms
up after just a few hours of freezing temps, apples could possibly be
allright


By now you probably read my story about the Honeygolds being exposed to 15 degrees and still being quite normal.
I have reason to believe they stayed about that cold for at least a few hours. I say that because the little airport up the road from here had 11 degrees for 3 consecutive hourly readings and 12 degrees the hour before that.
