Description:
Malus domestica 'Honeycrisp' is a popular apple variety known for its crisp texture and sweet flavor. It is adaptable to a wide range of climates, thriving in USDA zones 4-9. The tree bears fruit at a young age, with a prolonged harvest period, and its apples are characterized by a dappled red color over a yellow background. 'Honeycrisp' requires a high chill period and benefits from a pollinator partner for optimal yield. It is disease-resistant and can tolerate extreme cold and high humidity, making it ideal for urban and suburban gardens. The tree can grow to a semi-dwarf height of 12-18 feet or a standard height of 18-25 feet.
