Honey Crisp Apple Seeds

[Gary350]

The seeds inside are dark color. After drying out several days the seeds split into 2 halves and there is a white color seed inside the shell. I wonder if these will grow a Honey Crisp Apple Tree?

One way to find out!

Statistically no. Most often seeds don't grow true and that is why apple trees are grafted. Also if it does the tree will be huge and it will be 7 or more years before you find out what you actually have. There are whole extention test sites where apples are grown from seeds etc. They have found that most are not very palitable and the trees are removed.
Many of the apples that are usable are fit only for cider.
If you have the room and nothing better to do with your time you could plant the seeds and see what if anything you end up with years from now.

No it will most likely not produce a honeycrisp tree but you can buy a bare root one that will produce in a year.

I talked to the nursery people in AZ they say we get only 250 hours of cold weather most apples require a minumum of 500 hours of cold. Anna Apples are 1 of 2 apples that will grow in AZ and it is the best of the 2.

Looking at the map, you appear to be in the 500 to 1000 chill hours.

Most apple trees are rated for a lot of hours but really don't need that. We get about the same and most varieties they have tried here produced some better than others but most about the same as in higher chill areas.

Honeycrisp is a hybrid of Keepsake and an unidentified parent. It is also not self fertile and requires another apple variety to produce fruit. So you will not get a Honeycrisp tree from seed.
