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

I have enjoyed my Keepsake for many years. Really nice hard crunch and
plenty of flavor. Don't know about keeping, since I ate it too fast.

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.

be grown well in a small region, and doesn't keep well. Honeycrisp, despite
the complaints, is much more widely adapted and can be stored for months.
