MINNESOTA (WCCO) – Minnesota knows its apples, and this weekend could be the perfect time to run out and pick up some of them from your nearby orchard.

Apples are definitely in season, especially the ones created by University of Minnesota researchers.

Chris Stanford was live Wednesday morning at the Apple House near the Arboretum in Chanhassen.

See Chris’s chat with Pete Moe, director of the Landscape Arboretum, in the video above.
