    'Honeycrisp' (introduced in 1991) is a sweet and flavorful red apple with spectacularly crisp texture. It will keep five months in cold storage.

    The Honeycrisp I've had for seven years finally had several blossoms last year. I have a nearby Cortland and a couple of flowering crabapples that are in bloom at the same time which are supposed to be the necessary pollinators for it; however, I haven't gotten any fruit from it yet. It hasn't ever had any disease and stays very healthy until the Japanese Beetles arrive. The beetles skeletonize nearly all the leaves on the Honeycrisp and don't touch any of my other apple trees. I'm not giving up yet.
