Help Name Washington’s New Apple Variety

Washington State University has developed a new apple variety, WA 64, which is a cross between Honeycrisp and Cripps Pink apples. The apple is described as firm, tasty, and visually appealing with a pink blush over a yellow background. It will be available in grocery stores by 2029 and will be exclusively grown in Washington for the next decade. A naming contest is being held by WSU for U.S. residents aged 18 and older to suggest an official name for the new apple variety. The winner will receive various prizes including engraved items, apples, cheese, spice rubs, and WSU merchandise. Entries are accepted until May 5th, 2024.
