Seasonality: Winter
Honeycrisp – a variety developed in the United States in 1991 at the University of Minnesota that revolutionized the apple market. It was bred specifically to achieve a unique texture - its cells are about twice the size of those in typical apples, so when bitten they don’t tear but burst, delivering an exceptional crunch and juiciness.
Appearance: Fruits are large to very large, round. The skin is thick, light greenish-yellow, covered with a bright red blush or striping. Large, light-colored lenticels are clearly visible on the surface.
Flavor: The flesh is creamy, extremely crisp, firm, and very juicy. The flavor is predominantly sweet with a very mild acidity, featuring notes of honey and floral aromas. It is considered one of the highest-rated dessert apples in the world.
Tree characteristics: Trees are of medium vigor and show outstanding cold hardiness (the variety was developed for northern regions). It has moderate resistance to apple scab but is sensitive to calcium deficiency. Trees bear heavily but tend toward biennial bearing if the crop is not regulated. When stored in cool conditions, the fruits retain their remarkable crispness for a very long time - until April or May.
