The Story

Zestar was bred at the University of Minnesota — a Honeycrisp sibling, released in 1999, also known as Minnewashta. A very beautiful, round and rosy red apple. It's juicy and crisp with a sprightly zest (hence the name). They want to be eaten within four weeks of picking. They will not wait for you.
