So how does triumph stack up against supersnap? Think you probably have some fruit off triumph by now for a bit of an opinion. One I planted for a friend is a number of yrs from fruit production. He or really his wife are always asking about growing the latest hot topic apples from the supermarket but don't think about the zero care for apples that happens at their hunting property. So "honeycrisp like" with zero spraying program is the elusive goal for any new plantings I help them with

Do I need to be a commercial grower to get access to the trees? (Assuming I'm willing to pay the costs)

Sweettango catches my eye. Would squeeze a spot for that or topwork something existing.
The forbiden fruit of washington patent expires 2032. Exclusive rights to grow in washingston expires 2028 though., march 2027 being the more precise date. I thought it was grown n other parts of the world like europe and south america.

The article on the bottom explains some other honeycrisp crosses. Sweettango is crossed with zestar. Ripen in late august. Might not be that atrractive deer wise atleast. Cosmic looks like late september early october pretty much inline with red delicious. These dates might be premature. Often orchards want them a little aldente so they stay in storage longer.
I would be interested in a cross between some of these with dolgo, chestnut, kerr, or even hewes. Good taste good storage but deer bite sized. Maybe some of the crosses would make them drop slowly over the season versus alot of all winter zombie fruit.
