These apples are awesome. Try one if you can find one. I work for a local (but nationally known) garden center and these are the first apple trees to sell out each spring when we offer them.

You won't regret planting one if you have the room. :)

Made the annual pilgrimage to Gays Mills a couple weeks ago. Honey Crisps were among the purchases made. Yum.

Yes very good apples.... I eat an apple almost every day for a snack and I love these and the Fuji. I also use the Gala but it doesn’t have the flavor of the Honeycrisp or Fuji.

We sell a lot of these. They do very well (and they are very good!)

My great-grandfather used to buy a bushel of Sheepnose (Black Gillyflower) every year and they were the best apples I ever tasted. The one time I was able to buy them they were mealy. And between the deer and my kid with the lawnmower I have not been able to grow my own.

Northern Spy, Apple pie........I saw a Honeycrisp the other day and it reminded me of a Northern Spy....

We bought a 8 pack at Costco a couple of weeks ago here in Eureka Ca. Don’t remember the price but they were very good...

Tried my first Honeycrisp about a month ago. When the brand new Wegman’s opened here in Mechanicsburg.

Normally, I don’t like apples. Most of the time they are too grainy, but not these!

If I get the chance, I’m gonna plant a couple in my yard soon!
