Honeycrisp Apple Trees (forum)

Dreamsing starts with ...
Anyone out there know much about the U of Minnesota Honeycrisp apple tree? I love the apples and would love to plant some saplings next spring, but I don't know if I'll need to do anything special for them to yield.

Do they require male and female pairs for instance?

What sort of light exposure do they prefer?

Any fertilizer recommendations?

Have a look at the dave wilson nursery website, it can answer a lot of these USA type questions.

apparently its patent has run out and it grows ok in hot climates. Daley's - how about importing it for a trial

I would find it disturbing if distribution rights in Australia were allowed for varieties of fruit widely grown in other countries.It doesn't just seem to happen with specially bred pineapples or apples but also with widespread older types of fruit like mangoes or wax apples.

They take he patent out on arrival in Australia, thus for the next 10(?) years, they will enforce it for that period.

Jak, I am definately not for it.It makes me wonder if I brought back sam ru du mango or the big seedless wax apples independantly as they are not owned by anyone in their home country,would that be covered by a patent? I could understand that Chanthaburi durians might be different as they were specifically bred by a university,but who confers distribution rights with widespread unowned varieties?
