Description:

These apples are so exceptional, they are patented! Our Honeycrisp Apples are dry farmed (without irrigation) on a small family farm near San Luis Obispo. Characterized by an amazingly crisp and juicy flesh, Honeycrisp Apples have a well-balanced (sugar to acid), aromatic, spicy flavor. Their flesh is cream colored, and skin color is 60 to 90 percent mottled red over a yellow background. We cannot possibly overstate the qualities of this apple. They snap and crunch and deliver a wonderful spicy explosion of flavor! The Honeycrisp Apple is no accident. They were produced from a 1960 cross of the Macoun and Honeygold varieties, as part of the University of Minnesota apple breeding program. The original seedling was planted in 1962 at the University of Minnesota Horticultural Research Center. Honeycrisp is protected under the U.S. Plant Patent Act and may be propagated only by growers licensed by the University. Once you taste a HONEYCRISP (TM), you will understand why we’re such fans. We’re convinced that you, and your customers, will agree that this is the best apple ever. Amenity baskets will never be the same!
