We are in Northern VT borderline zone 3/4-- and have a couple of 10  
year old Black Oxfords that have survived our cold winters.   We got a  
nice harvest last fall and they are really great apples-- but, we  
found they did not keep well, contrary to what we've read-- they were  
wrinkly and soft by January.
