Honeycrisp^TM is a remarkable new apple variety, developed by the University of Minnesota. It is a cross of the Honeygold and Macoun varieties. The original seedling was planted in 1962 and the apple was evaluated as MN1711 at research stations in Minnesota and New York before being introduced to apple lovers as Honeycrisp^TM in 1991.

The fruit is large and exceptionally crisp and juicy. It is very sweet, with a well-balanced and aromatic flavor, consistently ranking as one of the best apples in taste tests. The apples have a distinctive red-orange blush, sometimes striped, over a yellow background color, with green russeting at the stem end. It stores exceptionally well under normal refrigeration, retaining its distinctive crisp and crunchy texture for up to six months.

Honeycrisp^TM is an unbeatable flavor sensation! If you like a crisp, sweet, and juicy apple (and who doesn’t?) you don’t want to miss this exciting and promising new variety.
