I have to go for a Honeycrisp that are grown in the North and picked in early October. Of the dozen or so varieties that I grow, and the other apples I've tasted, Honeycrisp is my favorite apple for it's unique crispness, flavor, and keeping qualities.
I have a couple of Cox crosses that I am hoping will produce soon - so my opinion may change!

Re: Honeycrisp
Hi I'm new to the site. Was wondering if anyone out there knows what the new kind of apple is called. It is like a Honeycrisp but better. It is available in June or July in Wisconsin. Please email at beha51@att.net Thanks
Re: Honeycrisp
Hello, beha51 -
To the best of my (granted, limited ) knowledge, the cultivars that are available so early in the season (ie, June or July) are not new.
Nor do they much resemble the unique Honeycrisp.
You can find quick references/descriptions here, including precise months when a particular variety is available; more detailed information inside this spectacular tome.
I include the book because many apples that ripen during the summer months are indigenous to our South.
Might you be thinking of SweeTango? It came out a couple of seasons ago to rave reviews and bears some of the qualities of one of its parents, Honeycrisp
Find the delectable SweeTango at Wood Orchards, in Wisconsin.
