This sensational early apple is a cultivar that is related to the Honeycrisp. Crunchy, sweet, with a hint of brown sugar, the Zestar! was recently developed in Minnesota as a cultivar that ripens early in very cold northern climates.

These apples may be our new family favorite! They are sweet, a little tart, an outstanding treat-so fresh, it's like I picked it myself!
Bill and Andrea at Champlain Orchards are committed to ecological practices and are Eco-Apple certified. Due to the challenges of our Northeast climate, organic certification of apples is incredibly difficult. Their apples are never sprayed; only in the flowering stage are the trees treated using Integrated Pest Management to cut down on the risk of scab. No chemical pesticides are used on the orchards.
