Honeygold Apple
A northern favorite with a sweet disposition, the Honeygold apple tree produces golden to yellow-green fruit that’s crisp, juicy, and full of flavor. Bred for cold climates, it’s a reliable performer that ripens in late September, offering a harvest that’s perfect for fresh eating and just as delightful in pies, crisps, or applesauce.
The apples store beautifully for 2 to 3 months, holding their texture and sweetness well into winter. The tree itself is easy to manage, with a tidy growth habit—ideal for backyard orchards or edible landscapes. Just keep an eye out for fire blight, which can affect susceptible trees in humid conditions.
