Yates question

[Bowsnbucks]

I was in a conversation about Yates apple trees on a thread - I think in the last month or 2 - and someone from the northern states said they have a Yates tree growing very well and producing for them. I believe it was Mich., Wisc., maybe Minn. It seems to me it was Crazy Ed, Bueller, Badgerfowl ....... can't remember. I've tried to locate that thread/post and can't find it !! Not even sure the thread was in " Fruit Trees ". Can someone who has a Yates in one of the northern states - zone 5/6 border - jump in ??

I was trying to find out what zone they were in and if they had any problems getting a Yates started, drop time in that location, etc. I've hunted & hunted and can't find that thread or their response/post. Thanks in advance.

My yates drop slowly from early November through late December in western Illinois zone 5b

I have (4) Yates on B.118 in my nursery that were grafted in April 2016. They need another year of pampering. I dont have any in production out on the farm yet.

Come to think of it I think I have (1) on B.118 that was grafted April 2015 that I think is going out to the farm this spring. I grafted a bunch of these based on Dan's posts and pictures, and his kindness to share scionwood with me.
