Default apples for seedlings

I have learned honeycrisp apples trees which would grow in my area, so
I might plant one. I shall still plant seedlings to help apple trees.
U. Minnesota has done it and it has found the honeycrisp.

47N, -40C in winter


I haven't tasted a honeycrisp apple yet but they say they are very
good. Two+ years ago, I grafted honeycrisp scions on two existing
trees. One as a side branch and one as the top. They made a very few
flowers last year but didn't set any fruit. With any luck at all,
this should be the year I finally get to taste a home grown honeycrisp.

only 44N but we get to -40C here too sometimes. -35F is more often
the low for the year.
