It's crazy they're still out there inventing new kinds of apples

thekatriarch.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honeycrisp is still my favorite go to apple though over many years, it just has all the perfect qualities I look for in an apple

I like granny smith, J likes fuji. We compromise with honeycrisp or Braeburn (or Cosmic Crisp at Costco)

badgerreader.bsky.social•1 day ago

Texture is my primary factor so I am fine with fuji if it is firm/crisp but any ounce of mealy and yuck. A bland crisp apple is preferred to flavorful mushy apple for my snacking needs.

Me too I gotta have that crisp texture!

The U of M is BIG in apple development. Lots of crops actually but apples are obviously the sexiest

Did you ever read the botany of desire? I know Michael pollan got real weird later on but that book was so interesting to me

The U also did Zestars and SweeTango. They are bringing a new one to market called First Kiss or Rave, which is a child of Hiney Crisp

Love that they're running around and finding feral apples to breed.

Imagining someone running into the hort building screaming “this apple slaps!”

I love to learn stuff

Stuff is my favorite thing to learn!

Have you tried a cosmic crisp? I am a longtime honeycrisp lover and I like them better!

thekatriarch.bsky.social•20 hours ago

Not yet!

hypercubexl.bsky.social•1 day ago

there's some called mystic or galaxy or something with sparkles and they're pretty good

thekatriarch.bsky.social•1 day ago

Is it the cosmic crisp maybe? I've seen them at the store but haven't tried them

any time I do an apple-themed story time I tell the kids they can grow up to invent new kinds of apples at the Cornell apple lab

mrspeel.bsky.social•1 day ago

I live in a big time apple growing area & sometimes they have new ones at the farm market called like "Cornell Experimental Variety #5"

Lou Bega getting into the apple biz. A little bit of Granny Smith in my life

mrspeel.bsky.social•1 day ago

As a Cornell alum, I really missed my chance to have an exciting career inventing new kinds of weird apples 😢

logicbutton.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I swear I once had a honeycrisp bigger than my cat's head

thekatriarch.bsky.social•22 hours ago

I am just one girl, I just don't need that much apple all at once!

pastelpaperback.bsky.social•1 day ago

Honeycrisp is the goat apple for sure
