Default apple seedlings

Not advisable to grow apples from seeds because the hybrids will not come
true.


I have read on it, although if someone has experience with hybrids
from non-crab apples, it would be interesting to read about.

I thought about planting seedlings because,

- Here in Quebec, (zone 4b agriculture canada 2000, 3 USDA, -40
Celsius in winter), farmers plant McIntoshes and Cortland. I was
counting on the 10 to 20 Celsius degrees of extra cold resistance
seedlings have.

- Apple trees prefer sexual reproduction.
