A comment on Honeycrisp: while in massachusetts on friday, a few major 
orchards have experienced major watercore this year with honeycrisp, to the 
point where they are not even worth picking...many factors i'm sure are 
involved, plenty might have to do with three years of tree stress from 
drought, but a heads up. a friend thought this watercore was because mass is 
too warm for honeycrisp...any thoughts on that? how many other potential 
problems have folks experienced/heard of? is this apple a dud possibly, 
commercially? not trying to incriminate, just trying to find out if this is 
just an off year, or is there a reason to raise concern with orchardists.
