SnowSweet has a deliciously sweet, slightly tart taste.  Fruit is large with a beautiful red-bronze blush over a greenish yellow background.  Slow to oxidize when exposed to air.  ‘Honeycrisp’ is a good pollinator, or any other mid to late season blooming apple.  Above average resistance to scab and fire blight.
