Honeycrisp: I refer to these as an heirloom of the future. It’s not only because they’re tasty it’s because they are fairly easy to grow in organic systems. Disease resistance is good. They can be prone to bitter pit due to calcium deficiencies, so supplementing with calcium in the orchard is helpful. Developed in Minnesota in 1960 it would already meet the 50 year mark some count for calling a plant an “heirloom”. We have bulk quantities of these.
