My reply: 

My dear friend is being modest.   I travel a might, so over the years I have 
had the opportunity to sample HoneyCrisp from all over and Richard has been 
nice enough to ship a few of his from time to time, and he produces excellent 
apples.   I wish I lived closer so I could "poach" his orchard at night.

That being said all zone 5 HoneyCrisp are not alike within the same year in 
different locations.  In my local they are sadly hit or miss.  This "seems" 
to have a bit to do with the temps as they mature, and some years we are 
still ungoshly hot, others years delightfully cool but I don't know.  It 
certainly would make a good study.

All the best,

the fluffy bunny

P.S. hello edwardo...fluffy still loves ya'   :)
