This is a very interesting project... I hope you keep us informed if this
cross produces good cider varieties.
For seed storage, I would assume that observation of nature would be a good
start: seeds freeze during winter and sprout at spring - why not keep them
in the freezer?
I have no information on "September Red", but there is a prairie apple
called "September Ruby" : Rescue x Haralson, introduced in 1986, from
Alberta. Very hardy. I haven't tried it yet.
