Honey Crisp Apple is Blooming!

DH grafted one from a friends tree. We will see. Mary is this the tree you wanted to toss because it was not blooming last year?

Yes it was. I was going to give it to thistle but not no more! haha

What? If I'd known that I would have snuck into your yard in my ninja-gardener outfit and picked the blooms!
Bwahahaha!

I have one that I planted 5 years ago. It started producing lightly in the third year, and we got a couple bushels last year. They were delicious! Especially when I saw them in the store for $4.99 a pound.

They are terribly expensive in the store!

if i could ship a bunch to everyone i would when they are in season here! for us they aren't that expensive! usually the most i've seen them going for organically is 1.99/lb.

They are my best friend's FAVORITE. She won't eat any other kind. I was gong to try one the last time we were out and stopped by the store... then I saw they were $3+ PER APPLE! Ouch.

They are O.K. But I WILL Not spend that much for an apple. I found Pink Ladies because they where on sale for .89 one week. They where GOOD. The usual price is about 1/2 of Honey Crisp! I also like Granny Smith which are Grandson's FAVORITE apple, he won't eat anything else.

Apples in general seem high per pound for me. I think they are around $2.49-$2.99lb. I only buy a few so it's not that bad I guess. Pears and oranges are cheaper so I always get those too.

love Pink Lady (aka Cripps Pink). i have 5 trees in my yard i got a few years ago for about $10/tree. hoping those will show some blooms this year. still watching & waiting but i have seen some buds showing they have blooms coming on the pears & 2 of the apples in the garden itself! (mistakenly planted too close to the garden area). Pink Ladies seems to have a few fat buds that could be blossoms but i won't hold my breath just yet.
