[QUOTE="Lycanthrope, post: 439506, member: 562"] Its getting to the point that if you want good apples, you need to be good about spraying your fruit to prevent insect damage. Honeycrisp has thin skin and is a favorite of apple maggot. They are hard to beat if they are grown well IMO. Sweetango is going off patent soon and might be available in the next couple years. Thats a daughter of honeycrisp that many people like. I got some opal apples from my tree for the first time this last summer, they are strikingly sweet. Good but if you dont like sugar it might almost be too much for you. Another offspring from honeycrips that I really like is pixie crunch, its a small apple, almost crabapple size, but the fruit is very good, I think better than honeycrisp. Also it is nice for kids because of the smaller snack sized apples. Pixie crunch is kinda borderline hardy for our area unfortunately and ive had some dieback on it over bad winters. [/QUOTE]
