re: Honeycrisp apples, can't locate any in BR or Houston

You might find some now, but I would wait until they're in season late September to get the best tasting ones

Now the University of Minnesota (who made the honeycrisp) made a new crossbreed. A cross between a honeycrisp and a monarch called a "rave". A company in Washington has the rights to it so it won't be too widespread for a year or two. Supposed to be even better than a honeycrisp
