Most of the problems I've heard of with honeycrisp were in warmer climates. I haven't grown it myself, though.

It's my opinion and a lot of others too that any new successful
cultivars will have that crunch and texture of Honey Crisp . I am
crossing HC with Gala, Suncrisp, Pinova, Goldrush, Pink Lady, etc, etc,
The effort is to breed a Honey Crisp like apple with taste and flavor
ramped up where HC is lacking and a tree easy to grow without HC's
problems.
I'm considering planting Honey Crisp in Zone 4b, Wisconsin. So, I'm very
interested in the problems you have had with this variety. Could you
elaborate? Also, do you shelter your Pink Lady, or is the climate where you
are suitably mild? I've read that Pink Lady can be grown successfully as
far north as Richmond, VA on the Atlantic seaboard, due to moderating
currents. I believe you are in central IL, but are you in a micro-climate
that moderates your Zone 5b even further?
