Capitol Press had an article out about it awhile back ago. I think I posted it here somewhere.
If you TRUELY want an Artic apple, .. get Fameuse (Snow apple). A very hardy apple variety. Also known as the Snow Apple of Quebec in 1739, from plantings in early French settlements in Quebec. One of the oldest and most desirable dessert apples, a parent of the aromatic McIntosh. Flesh is tender, spicy, distinctive in flavor, and snow white in color with occasional crimson stains near the skin. Very hardy, heavy bearing tree that is excellent for home orchards. Delicious fresh off the tree, in cider, or in culinary creations.
I grafted one of these up this spring.
