september ruby apple crosses

september ruby apple crosses. this apple is zone 2 hardy, ripens around now and it's good, I enjoy these small deep red skinned apples. made a few crosses with black strawberry, vanilla pink, black and red. the dark skin should come through, and the extra cold hardiness might help more seedlings over the zone 3 threshold. one rookie move, I picked the apples before they all had completely brown seeds, should have waited. but the upside is many of them had 10 seeds. anyone know if half brown seeds have a chance to grow, or why just this apple seems to produce double the seed count? #applebreeding
