Pepin Heights Orchards delivered the first Honeycrisp apples to grocery stores in 1997. [6] The name Honeycrisp was trademarked by the University of Minnesota, but university officials were unsure of its patent status in 2007. [7] It is now the official state fruit of Minnesota. [8] A large-sized honeycrisp will contain about 116 kilocalories ...
Entomophily is a form of plant pollination whereby pollen is distributed by insects, particularly bees, Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), flies and beetles. Honey bees pollinate many plant species that are not native to their natural habitat but are often inefficient pollinators of such plants; if they are visiting ten different species of ...
Mitch Lynd of Lynd Fruit Farms in Pataskala, Ohio developed MAIA-1 during 1998 and 1999. [4] Lynd pollinated and collected the pioneer seeds, Honeycrisp and Fuji, in 1998, germinated the first seedlings in 1998–1999, and carried out much of the organisational work that enabled the seedlings to be disseminated to farmers for experimental cultivation and development.

The variety was discovered by Chuck Nystrom in the early 1990s and developed in Minnesota, and is believed to be the result of an accidental cross-pollination between a Honeycrisp and another, unknown variety. [2]
Pollination of fruit trees is required to produce seeds with surrounding fruit. It is the process of moving pollen from the anther to the stigma , either in the same flower or in another flower. Some tree species, including many fruit trees, do not produce fruit from self-pollination , so pollinizer trees are planted in orchards.
The MN55 cultivar apple developed by David Bedford, a senior researcher and research pomologist at the University of Minnesota's apple-breeding program, and James Luby, PhD, professor, Department of Horticultural Sciences, Horticultural Research Center, is a cross between Honeycrisp and MonArk (AA44), a non-patented apple variety grown in Arkansas.
1. Cosmic Crisp. The largest apple launch in American history, Cosmic Crisp took over 20 years to develop and was reportedly marketed with a $10 million budget before it hit supermarkets in 2019.
The Cosmic Crisp is a cross between Honeycrisp and Enterprise apples. It is intended to have the texture and juiciness of the Honeycrisp, and the late-ripening behavior and long storage of the Enterprise. [3] The Cosmic Crisp is characterized mainly by uniformly colored dark red skin, dense firm flesh, and an improved shelf life. [4]
