We know growing apple trees is a labor of love that is very hard work. It takes a lot of planning and energy to produce the highest quality, best tasting apples. You also need apples that bring the highest financial returns from wholesalers, retailers, and consumers throughout the season. We believe apples developed by the University of Minnesota can help improve your production and sales.
The Honeycrisp Apple is an explosively crisp and juicy apple and a consumer favorite that brings in a premium price.
The Zestar!® Apple is a uniquely crunchy early season apple that can increase sales earlier in the summer.
The SnowSweet® Apple is a late season variety that has a delightful sweet taste, with a slight tart balance and rich overtones. Consumers love it not only for the flavor, but also because it is slow to oxidize after being cut and can be prepared in advance for appetizing dishes. SnowSweet® can help you extend your sales season.
These are just the newest of the many successful U of M apple varieties. We hope you find the information you need on these pages about apples and their production. And we hope you order apple varieties developed by the U of M.
Happy growing. And, happy sales.
