| Zestar - Finally, an early season apple with a crisp, juicy texture, and an exciting zesty flavor with a hint of brown sugar! Zestar is juicy with a light, crisp texture and maintains its great taste and crunch for 2-2 1/2 months in refrigeration. For our customers this means an apple that will give them a zesty crunch after hours in a lunchbox, days in a fruit bowl, or weeks in a refrigerator. Zestar was introduced in 1999, from a hybridization of State Fair x MN 1691. Good for eating, baking, sauce, and juice.

| Royal Gala - Developed in New Zealand, this apple is a cross between a Golden Delicious and and a Kidd's Orange Red. An excellent eating apple. Fair for baking. Flavor is mild and sweet. Gala's keep very well, especially when refrigerated. For folks with a sweet tooth, Gala is at its best eaten out of hand!

| NovaMac (McIntosh) - A modern Mac-style apple, developed at the Canadian Agriculture and Agri-Food research station in Kentville, Nova Scotia. Like several other apples developed here, it has the word "Nova" in its name. Novamac ripens a bit ahead of its parent, McIntosh, but inherits the classic Mac sweet wine-like flavor. Novamac is very similar to McIntosh in season and flavor. The fruit is medium-large, round, mostly red over a greenish-yellow background color. The flesh is white, crisp, tender and juicy with a fine sub-acid flavor similar to a Mac. Novamac is highly resistant to apple scab, resistant to cedar apple rust and fire blight, but susceptible to mildew. It is excellent for eating fresh and can also be cooked in pies or made into sauce.

| Honeycrisp - The HoneyCrisp is juicy, sweet as honey and considered amazingly crisp! It can be eaten as a snack added to salads or cooked. A favorite among many, even non-apple lovers - a perfect apple! Originating in the U.S. as a cross between a Macoun and HoneyGold. It took 30 years to perfect before they brought it to market in the early 1990s.

Good for eating, baking, sauce, and juice.
