Apples are heavy for their size, being sweet, crisp, and very juicy. They average 6-8 cm (~2.5\") in diameter. One of the \u003cb\u003eM370’s\u003c\/b\u003e standout qualities is its excellent keeping ability. In most years, the apples store well into late winter. Ripening begins mid-September and the apples hang on the tree reliably until late October. Great to eat fresh and use for juicing. The tree is a good producer most years. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWe are excited to help continue the story of the \u003cb\u003eM370\u003c\/b\u003e by bringing this piece of Canadian apple-growing history back into cultivation.
