Honeycrisp can't be all that hard to grow, because it is way more popular with growers than its parent, Macoun, despite being the lesser apple in every way but one. Honeycrisp keeps better than Macoun, and its texture is nearly as good as the texture of a Macoun, but the flavor and appearance are both far inferior to a decent Macoun.

Honeycrisp will do well competing with other sweet bland apples, such as Red Delicious. That is a large market, but the market for apples that taste good (not just sweet with no off flavors) has got to be nearly as large. Yet Macoun is a minor regional apple.

well in your area.

Read them all - then weep if you can't grow this apple.

I sure hope it does well in my area.........
