Why it rocks:
Honeycrisp Apple, was developed by the University of Minnesota Ag Experiment Station, is celebrated for its remarkable cold-hardiness and prolific fruit production. This splendid tree is an ideal addition to home gardens and landscapes, bringing both beauty and bounty. In the spring, it bursts forth with a lush, round canopy of vibrant green leaves, gracefully adorned with clusters of fragrant, light pinkish-white blooms that fill the air with a sweet scent. As the warm months give way to autumn, Honeycrisp Apples start to reach their peak ripeness. They can be harvested later in the season than many other apple varieties, allowing for a prolonged enjoyment of their remarkable taste. Renowned for their exquisite flavor, these apples consistently emerge as favorites in taste tests across the country. Each fruit boasts a delightful crunchy texture and a juicy sweetness, showcasing an attractive round shape and a glossy, mottled red skin that catches the eye. Honeycrisp Apple will flourish with the companionship of another Malus variety nearby, enhancing its yield and ensuring a bountiful harvest year after year. Whether gracing the garden or filling the aisles of grocery stores, Honeycrisp apple stands as a true American classic, embodying the joys of both cultivation and consumption.
Where to put it:
Create an inviting garden with Honeycrisp Apple trees! These trees are perfect for smaller landscapes, provided you allow enough space for them to reach their full mature spread. Planting them near other Malus varieties, including crabapples, will enhance their fruit yield. If you're planting multiple trees, consider grouping them in odd numbers and spacing them at least 15 feet apart. This arrangement will not only boost your fruit production but also enhance the overall beauty of your landscape. When positioning your Honeycrisp Apple trees, make sure to plant them at least 15 feet away from nearby structures. This distance ensures that their canopies can thrive and spread fully.
What it needs:
Honeycrisp Apple will thrive best in full sun and well-drained soil. It benefits from having healthy pollinator companions nearby. Any Malus variety will do. You can manicure the tree as needed as it grows and matures. Please follow our tree care guidelines during the initial growing seasons to promote a strong root system.
