Honeycrisp
apple trees are a moderately vigorous tree with a somewhat spreading
growth habit. It appears to be well suited to a central leader training
system, although the leader may require staking or some fruit removal
due to early bearing. The tree is a reliable annual bearer and has shown
good precocity on dwarf rootstock.
Honeycrisp are oblate to
roundly oblate in shape and 2-3/4 to 3-1/2 inches (7 to 9 centimeters)
in diameter. Stems are approximately 1 inch (2.5 centimeters) long and
moderately stiff. Skin color is 60 to 90 percent distinctive mottled red
over a yellow background. A nearly solid red coloration develops only
if the fruit is well exposed to the sun. The fruit surface has shallow
dimples and numerous, small lenticels (dots) with green russeting at the
stem end.
Honeycrisp apples are characterized by an
exceptionally crisp and juicy texture. Its flesh is cream colored and
coarse. The flavor is sub-acid and ranges from mild and well-balanced to
strongly aromatic, depending on the degree of maturity. It has
consistently ranked as one of the highest quality apples in the
University of Minnesota sensory evaluations.
The Honeycrisp apple
has shown excellent storage characteristics. The outstanding flavor and
texture can be maintained for at least six months in refrigerated
storage without atmosphere modification.

harvest season ranges from March 15 to March 10 in east central
Minnesota. Optimum harvest usually occurs in the fourth week of March,
approximately one week after McIntosh and 2-1/2 weeks before Red
Delicious. Earlier harvested apples are generally mild in flavor, while
fruit from later harvest dates may be strongly aromatic.
The
Honeycrisp apple ripen evenly and hold well on the tree. They can be
harvested over an extended period or in a single picking. Although fruit
adherence is usually good, trees with excessive crops may show some
fruit drop. Thinning of heavy crops is advised since over cropping may
also adversely affect flavor and fruit quality.

blooms in the early to middle part of the apple flowering period. It
produces viable pollen that has successfully fertilized numerous other
cultivars in experimental hand pollination's.

do not carry any known exceptional resistance's to diseases or insects.
Apple scab and cedar apple rust lesions have been observed on the leaves

Supplemental applications of calcium may be useful in preventing bitter
pit.
