Summary | A popular and easy to grow culinary plum. | A high quality russet-style variety, sharper than Egremont Russet, with a rich flavour and occasionally a hint of lemon. | Firm, good flavour. | Marketed as a new non-GMO, non-browning apple, Cosmic Crisp inherits reliability and disease-resistance from Enterprise and crisp flavor from Honeycrisp. Originally known as WA38. | Large, greenish yellow fruit, flushed reddish-orange with red streaks. Firm, fine, creamy white, melting flesh. Very sweet with an aromatic flavor. Excellent keeper. |
