The availability of young Malus domestica plants of the ‘Cosmic Crisp’ variety, offered for purchase, allows individuals and orchard owners to cultivate this relatively new apple cultivar. The offering typically includes grafted trees, often two to three years old, ready for planting in suitable climates and locations. These trees represent a direct avenue for acquiring the genetic material necessary to produce this specific type of fruit.
Cultivating these trees presents the opportunity to grow a variety known for its crisp texture, sweet-tart flavor profile, and extended storage capabilities. The ‘Cosmic Crisp’ apple was developed through traditional breeding methods at Washington State University and its popularity stems from its desirable fruit characteristics and resistance to common apple diseases. Its commercial success has made it a sought-after variety for both home gardeners and commercial growers looking to capitalize on market demand and diversify their orchards.
