- lotsofpulp 8y agoHoneycrisp is where it's at!
- zonged 8y agoCheck out Sweet Tangos if you have the chance, they are an improved Honeycrisp.
- lotsofpulp 8y agoThanks, haven't seen those anywhere yet.
- jmckib 8y agoJuici is another amazing apple with Honeycrisp parentage, though I can barely ever find them. I believe they come out of Washington state.
- tomrod 8y agoMy first thought. Greeks would have called their honey and milk honey crisps if they'd had it.
- fencepost 8y agoIf you find Opal, my take on them is that they're what Golden Delicious wants to be when it grows up.
