Fantastic!
First year of production - fantastic! Much better than golden delicious. Larger apples. Doesn't over produce like golden delicious. Sweeeeet with aromatic component. One of my favorites of the 20+ apple trees I have - I like better than honeycrisp.

Excelent company to deal with
I have dealt with several suppliers in the past and have found all to be willing to take my money. One sent me dead twigs and quickly went out of business, most others delivered stock that didn't survive and refused to replace anything I lost.
The Stark Bros. Difference has been a great experience for me not only have they delivered trees the size I ordered in healthy condition buy they have also replaced, and without question I might add, a number of trees the didn't survive the winter. If you're looking for a few trees or to start an orchid don't make the mistakes I made, go with Stark Bros.

No crop as of yet but growing well and looking good. My personal orchard has several Stark Bros. varieties, some that I've grown in past years and love the crisp sweet taste each affords. This is the 2nd year for the suncrisp so no apples yet. My family has used Stark Bros. trees since I was a toddler who is now an old goat.

Sun Crisp Apple
Maybe my favorite of all the newer apples.
Late season, very crisp and flavorful, easy to grow.

Heavy bearing
I purchased this and another tree as a gift for my grandchildren. They had a few apples last fall and visiting there today I noticed we will need to restack the tree as a heavy crop is pulling it to one side. Has a high percentage of clean fruit with minimal spraying.

Not hardy?
I planted 2 in 2018. One didn't survive the winter. The other one looks great yet.
I want dwarf and liked the reviews on taste and the plant parentage
I wanted a Blondee apple but I do not live in the growing zone recommended. I am hoping this is a similar taste compatible with my zone
I have a granny smith apple trees that needs a good pollinator buddy.
I tried a suncrisp apple in the NC Mountains and it was the best apple I EVER had. I no longer like regular store bought apples.
