	Honeycrisp Apples
		Honeycrisp is a moderately vigorous tree with a somewhat spreading growth habit.
		Honeycrisp apples are oblate to roundly oblate in shape and 2-3/4 to 3-1/2 inches (7 to 9 centimeters) in diameter.
		Honeycrisp was produced from a 1960 cross of Macoun and Honeygold, as part of the University of Minnesota apple breeding program to develop winter hardy cultivars with high fruit quality.

	Honeycrisp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Honeycrisp™ (Malus domestica 'Honeycrisp') is a modern cultivar of apple developed in Minnesota by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities at its Horticultural Research Center.
		The Honeycrisp also keeps for a long time in cool, dry conditions and retains its pigment well.
		However, genetic fingerprinting by a group of researchers including the inventors listed on the patent has determined that neither of these cultivars is a parent of the Honeycrisp, but that the Keepsake (another apple developed by the same UMN crossbreeding program) is one of the parents.

		Honeycrisp is a unique apple and will present new challenges for fruit packers as commercial production increases.The variety is susceptible to a number of disorders, including soft scald and soggy breakdown, as well as bitter pit.
		Honeycrisp is also unusual in that the soluble solids levels do not increase over the harvest period.
		Honeycrisp is prone to stem punctures, which provide entry points for disease organisms.

	07/31/00: Honeycrisp 'Yellows' (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Unfortunately, there is no proven explanation why the Honeycrisp 'yellows' occurs, although several 'theories' have been put forth, including: potato leafhopper injury; nitrogen deficiency; latent virus from propagating stock; and carbohydrate partitioning.
		Fortunately, most agree it is not a serious problem, and growers are continuing to plant Honeycrisp to capitalize on it's remarkable fruit quality and marketability.
		Researchers, however, are continuing to study the problem hoping that indeed it is as benign as it appears.

	Tchotchka Palace: Meditation on apples
		Honeycrisp apples are the invention of mediocrity, come to fruition this fall.
		It's what the executives wanted from a red delicious, which is truly a bit of marketing genius because although they are red they are never delicious but rather mealy and too sweet.
		Ah, so the honeycrisp is the whore of the red apple world.

		Honeycrisp growers tend to have a love-hate relationship with this apple variety.
		Careful chemical and hand thinning of young trees, and more aggressive chemical thinning of older Honeycrisp, is recommended to achieve a crop where fruit quality and yield are in balance and biennial bearing is avoided.
		Picked too early, Honeycrisp does not have the flavor and sugar it is renowned for, and you run the risk of developing soft scald problems in storage.

	A New Star in the Apple World - Honeycrisp (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Author Lisa McLaughlin wrote that "growers and eaters consider Honeycrisp the new star of the apple world." She neglected to add that Honeycrisp is not just the new star, it's a northern star, born and bred in Minnesota, developed by fruit breeders at the University of Minnesota Horticulture Research Center.
		Honeycrisp apples also are grown in the Loire Valley of France and in northern Germany, and they're being tested in South Africa, New Zealand and Australia.
		And for every Honeycrisp tree that is sold, a small patent fee returns to the University of Minnesota to help further the work of fruit breeders.

	The Fruit Blog: Pedigree of 'Honeycrisp' apple.
		No.") are relatively well suited to this sort of study, but there's another sort of study, where people determine genetic relatedness between pedigrees by comparing how many markers are shared by genotypes.
		People are awfully quick to throw away old means of doing things when I new one comes along...both pedigree and molecular comparisons have their place, but neither is perfect.
		'Honeycrisp', by the way, is a darn good apple, wherever it came from, and the University of Minnesota breeding program deserves a big thumbs up for producing it, even if they didn't manage to keep their records straight.

	EFFECT OF PARTICLE FILM ON FRUIT SUNBURN, MATURITY AND QUALITY OF 'FUJI' AND 'HONEYCRISP' APPLES
		Applications of kaolin particle film in July and August (New York) reduced both the proportion of the skin surface that was red, and also the red hue on the blushed portion of the skin.
		The reduction in red color development observed in ‘Fuji’ and ‘Honeycrisp’ was not related to a change in mineral nutrient concentration or to a delay in fruit maturity.
		Reductions in fruit color and size in our study are possibly due to an increase in the amount of reflected light, resulting in light-limited carbon fixation and color development.

		Pure good taste--aromatic, clean, and sweet-tart--along with juiciness, versatility, excellent "snap," and the unusual ability to be refrigerated for six months with no loss of its outstanding features.
		If part of your yard receives sunlight most of the day and your soil drains relatively well, you can plant your own Honeycrisp trees and be picking apples within a few years--that is, if you plant a dwarf tree.
		Dwarf apple trees bear fruit earlier, and, because of their short stature, are much easier to maintain than standard apple trees.
