I have 5 honeycrisp, 4 macintosh and 4 empires. 2 sour cherry, 2 pear, one reliance peach and a couple of berry patches. It has been a very wet spring and the same so far this summer. The cherry trees are giving well right now and most of the apple trees and pear trees are loaded with small fruit. I had some trouble with peach leaf curl due to all the rain and didn't catch it quick enough. My honeycrisp trees always look the worst and I have been told that is pretty standard. The fruit is good though. I asked a commercial orchard friend about honeycrisp and he said he makes his biggest profit from them since they keep so well and have such great flavor. He told me his trees often have the same problem described.
