Bred in the US in the 1960s, late season dessert apple Malus domestica Honeycrisp is particularly suitable for colder areas with good sunshine. The fruit is medium-sized to large, with yellowish-green skin with a red-orange flush and a hint of pink. The flesh is cream-coloured, very crisp and sweet, although there is a hint of acidity. The tree is a spur-bearer, reliable, and a good cropper. Apple Honeycrisp is highly disease-resistant, particularly to scab, and is a good choice for organic growers. Self-sterile, so must be planted near an apple of the same or adjacent pollination group.
