Default OK if apples are frozen on the tree?

Winter Gem is a good dessert apple. It should be picked in October
for use from November to January when stored in a cool place such as a
garage.
When left longer on a tree they ripen too much and loose their keeping
qualities (true off all apples).
Winter Gem was raised in Kent in 1975 from a cross between Grimes
Golden and Cox's Orange Pippin. It was introduced to the market in
1993. Grown as a garden aplpe rather than for commercial growing
