Honeycrisp is an exceptional variety developed from a cross of Macoun and Honeygold at the University of Minnesota in 1991. This crisp, juicy, sweet apple has a luxurious flavor and has consistently ranked as one of the highest quality apples in the University of Minnesota sensory evaluations. The skin is richly coral-colored with a yellow background. Averaging over three inches in size, Honeycrisp matures ten days before Red Delicious, has a two week harvest window, and stores well. Outstanding winter hardiness gives Honeycrisp excellent potential for northern growing areas. A pollenizer is recommended for maximum productivity.
