New apple variety, Cosmic Crisp, ready for production
Apple breeders at Washington State University have developed a new kind of apple that will be landing on supermarket shelves by the end of the decade, the Columbia Basin Herald reports. The new variety has been nicknamed Cosmic Crisp. It’s a juicy apple with a sweet, tangy flavor. What makes Cosmic Crisp unique is that it was developed in Washington specifically for Washington orchards. Washington is the nation’s leading producer of apples.
