Stark® Hart's Fancy™ Apple Tree
Description
A better Honeycrisp! Super-juicy, sweet sub-acid flavor and characteristic crispness makes this one of the best fresh-eating apples around. This Honeycrisp/Gala cross produces pretty, cherry-red fruit with light striping. A heavy annual bearer that tolerates warmer climates. Originates from Winchester, Illinois in 2000. Named to commemorate Stark Bro’s founder, James Hart Stark. Ripens in September. Shows promising resistance to rust, scab and fire blight.
