(Malus 'Honeycrisp')
What could be better than walking out to your yard and grabbing an apple off your own tree? This tree's foliage is green with white blossoms, the apple itself is red blushed with some yellow with a crisp and juicy taste. The average apple is between 2.5–2.75 inches in diameter, but some apples can grow to be more than three inches in diameter. This tree is commonly pollinated by crabapples, which are integrated into our urban landscape, therefore a buddy apple tree is not necessary for the Honeycrisp to produce apples.
