I remember the first time I bit into a Honeycrisp apple. The apple had a crisp, crunchy feel as I chewed. The skin was not too thick. The flavor was so sweet. Now here’s the best part…
Honeycrisp apple is the most insect and disease resistant apple on the market.
Honeycrisp Apple is the best choice for landscaping. Easy to grow, hard to find!
If you haven’t eaten a Honeycrisp apple, look for it in late Fall in your grocery store.

Honeycrisp is the best for your landscape because the bugs and disease won’t bother it. Imagine, shiny, beautiful apple leaves all Summer long with pretty red fruit. No cedar apple rust, no fireblight, just a few aphids.
Honeycrisp apple was developed by the Univ. of Minnesota, so it’s cold hardy No need to worry about it dying on you when the temp. drops to zero.
I have seen fruit growing on very young trees. This variety will definitely bear fruit at a young age.
How big does Honeycrisp get? It depends on the rootstock. Rootstock means the roots are a different plant than the Honeycrisp Top. They are grafted together. For the largest plant, graft a Honeycrisp onto a Malus domestica rootstock. Expect Honeycrisp to get 10 ft to 15 ft tall if you don’t prune it.
When to prune Honeycrisp? Late Winter, February or March, before the tree breaks dormancy. All apple trees should be pruned before they break dormancy.
