Suncrisp® Apple
Malus domestica 'Suncrisp®'
Suncrisp® is a Golden Delicious x Cox Orange Pippin cross that is sweet, with a mildly subacid, spicy pear taste. It has golden skin with an orange blush and is conical in shape.
A Golden Delicious x Cox Orange Pippin Cross developed at the apple breeding program at Rutgers University in New Jersey and released it in 1994.
Tree is moderately vigorous, upright, and shows some susceptibility to blister spot. Prone to rust so site selection is critical prior to planting. Thinning will decrease the tendency toward biennial bearing. Matures about one week after Golden Delicious.
