Malus domestica 'Cosmic Crisp'

This new red, juicy apple has a perfect combination of sweetness and tartness and is the first release from the apple breeding program at Washington State University. The plants are licensed and limited by WSU to ONLY be sold to people residing and growing the plants in the state of Washington. WE CANNOT SHIP this tree to an address outside of Washington State.

It is a cross between Honeycrisp, and the excellent keeper and scab resistant variety Enterprise. This apple has large size, crisp texture, great productivity and beautiful red color with white lenticels that sparkle like stars, thus the name ®Cosmic Crisp™. It blooms in mid to late season (category 4), and ripens late, between Granny Smith and Braeburn. Washington state apple growers are predicted to plant 11 million Cosmic Crisp™ and it is expected to become very popular with consumers.

Honeycrisp and Enterprise can NOT be used as pollinators for this variety, due to their genetic similarity. Any other varieties that bloom in categories 3, 4 or 5 may be used as pollinizers.

This is the first time I ve tried Cosmic Crisp and they are excellent; right amount of tartness and sweetness, with a great crisp texture. Hope these become a staple in the Midwest!

Delicious!!!

I can t buy this tree as I don t live in Washington, but I would if I could. I came specifically looking for it. I had some Cosmic Crisp Apples and they are my new favorite. They re crisp while remaining sweet and flavorful. Hope more people who can grow this will!!

Best looking and best producing tree. Bought many more!!!

Planted last winter and got 16 gorgeous huge apples from New tree same year. The tree is the healthiest looking in our orchard of more mature trees. Foliage is healthy and Shiney. Great in Central Whidbey Island maritime climate. Fruit is lasting for many months as we savor our delicious apples. We may have the first residential Cosmic Crisps in Island County and are waiting delivery of many more. Raintree and WSU thanks a million.
