Honeycrisp Apple

('Keepsake' x unnamed seedling) University of Minnesota, 1991. It is an exciting apple that is exceptionally crisp and juicy. The flavor is sweet but well-balanced. Excellent storage life, up to 7 months. Has been rated equal to or higher in overall quality than 'Haralson,' 'Honeygold', or 'Keepsake' in winter storage trials. Ripens in late September in Minnesota and stores like a late-season variety. Has become an outstanding commercial and home orchard variety because of its explosive crispness, flavor, and storage life. CPBR #1007, C®
