I’ve noticed the honeycrisp variety is comparatively cheaper this year than in years past. Closer to the price of other apple varieties at the stores I frequent. I go for pink lady apples recently though.
Honey crisp is becoming more widely available as the variety’s patent protections ran out a few years ago. Now that you don’t have to have a special license from University of Minnesota to grow them we’re gonna be able to get the “generic.”
Pink lady here, too. I used to be a Gr. Smith kinda guy. But nowadays not so much. They don’t come with the kind of crispiness and juiciness and savoriness that I remember.
Then again I don’t eat much fruit at all. Mostly berries if anything. Man, you put a bowl of cherries in front of me? You better ask for some quickly, before I finish it. My favorite.

Hell, I just planted one a few months ago.
It makes sense to me that they’d get a lot cheaper when the supply is no longer artificially constrained.

Back around 2002 I used to love the pink ladies from New Zealand, but now I can only get the ones from the US, and they are not as special.
