Keepsake apples are a "keeper" for me. I have a tree on M116  root stock that 
has been in production for several years. While the apple quality is average 
it's keeping life is outstanding. Last year we had a large crop. I kept the 
best ones in a plastic grocery bag in the refri keeping those to be used 
after all others are gone, spoiled, etc. Here it is more than a year since 
harvest and we are still eating and otherwise using these keepsake apples 
with very little spoilage. When you have no other apples, keepsake are pretty 
good. 
This year because of the early spring and the frost we have very few apples.

The seed I received of those two didn't germinate.  I hope your's will do
better.
