Thank you for finding this post from appleman! i was thinking of it recently, no idea how to locate it. (Some of the former Cosmic Crisp links aren’t opening, i’ll add this one:)RZehr wrote: ↑Wed Jan 19, 2022 10:02 pm Thanks, I was wondering where this conversation was. I took four and a half years from this May 2017 until Jan 2022 to eat my first Cosmic Crisp.

I am guessing it is especially bred for a Washington State climate and is their attempt at trying to benefit from the Honey Crisp phenomenon. Honey Crisp is the first really popular apple in a long time that cannot really be grown well in the Washington climate and it is driving them crazy out there that they are missing out on it. I am guessing this is their attempt at getting a part of that market.
Call it apple politics if you will.

i have 3 of these in my kitchen now! it’s been a little hard finding them this year, but, finally!
they store well, and, are slow to turn brown when cut. great for me, i almost always cut in half, for a second day.
