Re: [nafex] [ARTICLES] Honeycrisp discussions in media

I had a first encounter with Macoun two years back. The vanilla note was unexpected and lingered in the finish. Great apple! The season for it is rather brief, but so worth finding.
I'd like to get my teeth into Keepsake - the mother of Honeycrisp by DNA analysis - for I read it has much more flavor with similar breaking texture, and keeps all winter in cellar.
