Keepsake is also one of my favorite apples. It does well here in
western Washington. It won't ripen well unless you have full sun on it in
the September/October time of the year. Honeycrisp also does well
here. It is very nice and crisp but doesn't match up with it's parent,
Keepsake, in flavor. I also like the full flavored Sweet Sixteen, a sister
to Keepsake, but it tends to not hold it's crispness very long.
I have seen and tasted Keepsake and Sweet Sixteen at fruit shows that were
not grown very well and didn't have the flavor that I can grow them to.
Under what conditions fruits have been grown makes a world of difference in how
they taste.
