Our Variety Assessment

Its strengths, growing requirements and the conditions in which it performs best.

Honeycrisp is outstanding for its exceptionally crisp texture and very juicy, sweet, mildly sharp flesh. Highly winter-hardy, it performs well in continental climates and cooler European regions. We recommend it to growers placing fruit quality above ease of production. The tree can crop biennially, while the apples may suffer storage disorders when crop load and mineral nutrition are poorly balanced.

Description

Honeycrisp is a high quality eating apple with a predominantly sweet flavour. It lives up to its name – it has a light crisp flesh.

The apples are medium-to-large in size, with a light green/yellow background largely covered with red-orange flush occasionally with a hint of pink. They keep well in storage, and retain their crispness.
