anyone here ever grow these and or have any information on fruit quality and
tree hardiness? general comments on miniature and dwarf trees would be
appreciated

Yep, have two of the North Pole variety. I'm in the Seattle area,
and these are in pots that are on my patio year round. I average
about a half dozen apples on each plant (would be more fruit if I
planted them in the ground, I am told), normal size, in late
Sept. This year, unfortunately, the squirrels have taken them
all.

There are some photos he
