To some that is the point, but they are not for everyone.<br /><br />I really ought to do a head-to-head with Honeycrisp, but it seems unfair since H is past prime by the time E is ready to eat.Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-54424050040666447332017-12-11T09:18:20.873-05:002017-12-11T09:18:20.873-05:00I bought some of these at the Somerville winter fa...I bought some of these at the Somerville winter farmers' market from Apex last saturday, about an hour after reading your review. They do taste like what you would expect from Honeycrisp x Fuji!<br /><br />I think they have more flavor than HC, but were not as explosively crisp. The ones I bought had a little watercore and were extremely sweet. Broke out the refractometer and measured 20 brix.<br /><br />I actually found the sugar overpowering after a few bites. I've eaten high sugar apples that I liked, but they have more acid and other things going on to balance the sugar. These were kind of like eating candy. My kids loved them.<br /><br />While neither this one or Honeycrisp are at the very top of my list, I can't deny that it is quite a good apple. I'd certainly eat it again.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05413198575104625457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-80999638221066558542017-12-10T10:29:03.649-05:002017-12-10T10:29:03.649-05:00Hello Peter, thank you for the complement!

I should think Honeycrisp fans will be grateful to have this in late fall and beyond, when the HCs are off peak.<br /><br />Don't you think that Evercrisp is about what one would expect from crossing HC with Fuji?Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06245776593991049317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8647355176632077968.post-23734856839077054712017-12-09T21:26:25.511-05:002017-12-09T21:26:25.511-05:00This is a late season winner in the Hudson Valley....This is a late season winner in the Hudson Valley. The fruit is rock hard, very dense, proving to be a long term cold storage keeper, not requiring CA. Over time I find its flavor composition improves, not so overwhelmed with Honeycrisp. My kids really enjoy the first bite which seems to be driving many new varieties. And as you mentioned this varieties increased move of new varieties toward increased complexity of flavor....btw, love your blog. best, PeterP.
