I have the two lowest chill hour apples. 'Granny Smith,' and 'Mollies
Delicious.' I believe these are both 400 chill hours. Anyone who is wondering
what "chill hours," it's the amount of hours the temperature stays below 45
degrees in any given winter.

apple trees do fine in areas with -30oF or zone 4. they are quite late blooming so
usually dont get caught with late frosts (unlike peaches and apricots).
there are now varieties that dont need much chill hours either to produce so they can
grow quite far down south. Ingrid


The apple tree cannot be counted on to hold its own in
regions where the temperature goes down with frequency to 20 below.
Long hot summers are as trying to the tree as cold winters.
