Thanks everyone, for your comments about this apple, I have a photo with it
and two other apples that is nearly worthy of framing, Golden Nugget
"steals the show". I should mention that it survived 33 below with no
damage in zone 4b, sorry to hear that it isn't hardier but I am surprized
it survived that, being descended from Cox which is the second most winter
tender variety I have (of about 100).

BTW Newtown Pippin has been the most winter tender for me of all my other
apples.
