A native Michigan apple tree, the Malus coronaria, learned to fight frost by blooming two or three weeks later than the trees that produce cultivated varieties of apples like Honeycrisp or Red Delicious
That doesn’t sound like a lot, but almost always that’s enough for the flowers to escape the killing spring frost
