not going to find Spring Apples pretty much anywhere in the Northern America's

 

there is a way to tell at the 'Supermarket' if the apple is the 'current season' or 'last' or from the S.America's  :

 

look at the stem where it connected to the tree :   if its all shriveled up , its the previous seasons somewhere else

 

and there is a good chance the apple was coated with some Very light wax.

 

'fresh picked' does not have that type of stem.

 

apples do keep for quite a while if stored properly and are still tasty.

 

even in California where I grew up, ( bat area ) apples only had one crop a year.

 

oranges, lemons etc  had two.
