Malus ‘Honeycrisp’
Zone: 4
Size: 12-15’ H x 10-14’ W
This celebrated University of Minnesota variety is well-known all over the world. In Europe, it is referred to as ‘Honeycrunch®’. Explosively crisp and juicy with the perfect sweet/tart balance, ‘Honeycrisp’ apples bring a premium price. That has been a huge asset for local farmers and our state’s apple industry. Flowers are mid to late season bloomers, yielding fruits between mid-September and early October. These good-sized, red-streaked, gold apples keep for over seven months! ‘Honeycrisp’ has great resistance to Apple Scab. Choose a location with good air-flow and water well when conditions are dry to reduce susceptibility to other issues. ‘Haralred’ and ‘SnowSweet’ both make good pollinators.
