SnowSweet® Apple Tree

SnowSweet® earns its name twice over — the snow-white flesh that stays brilliantly white long after cutting, and the exceptionally sweet, fine, crisp flavor that makes it one of the finest fresh-eating apples available from a northern orchard. Developed at the University of Minnesota and introduced in 2006, it delivers Honeycrisp-caliber fresh-eating quality with a distinctive advantage: the flesh resists browning (oxidizing) far longer than most apple varieties after slicing, making it the top pick for fruit salads, cheese boards, lunchboxes, and any application where appearance after cutting matters. Disease resistant to scab and fire blight. Mid-September ripening. Cold hardy in Zones 4–7.

May be covered by USPP #19,446 or other patents. Wildung cultivar.

Snow-White Flesh That Won’t Brown — A Genuine Game-Changer

Most apples brown within minutes of being sliced. SnowSweet®'s white flesh stays crisp and brilliantly white long after cutting — a practical quality advantage that changes how and where you can use it. Fruit salads that look beautiful hours after being made. Platters that stay presentation-worthy through an entire party. Sliced apples in a lunchbox that still look fresh at noon. That non-browning quality, combined with the sweet, fine-textured, crisp flesh, makes SnowSweet® the fresh-eating and entertaining apple that no other variety quite replaces.

University of Minnesota, 2006 — Built for Northern Gardens

SnowSweet® comes from the same University of Minnesota breeding program that developed Honeycrisp and other cold-hardy apple varieties specifically for northern growing conditions. Introduced in 2006 as the Wildung cultivar, it’s cold hardy into Zone 4 and performs reliably in the cool climates where its exceptional flavor quality develops fully. For northern orchardists who want a premier fresh-eating apple that can handle their winters, SnowSweet® is a natural choice.

Disease Resistant to Scab and Fire Blight

SnowSweet®'s dual resistance to apple scab and fire blight reduces the spray management demands that challenge many apple varieties, making it a more practical and lower-maintenance choice for home orchardists who want premier fresh-eating quality without an intensive disease program.
