You are probably thinking of Honeycrisp. It is a wonderful eating apple, and
yes I do have one in my plantings. It has many problems for the grower,
however. It has a nutrition problem that causes it's leaves to get blotchy
yellowish patches. Perhaps this is why it practally stops growing when it
starts to crop. It's very easy for the tree to "runt out" if it's not thinned
heavily. There are also problems in holding the fruit in cold storage, perhaps
not a problem for home growers. It's a good enough apple, though, that a lot of
research is going into trying to overcome it's problems.
