WA 64 is a hybrid apple variety developed at Washington State University (WSU). It is a Honeycrisp crossed with Pink Lady apple.[1] [2] The first WA 64 apples were planted at the Stemilt Growers orchard in Quincy, Washington in 2015.[3] Availability at retail to the public may begin in 2029, six years after its introduction in 2023.[4]
WSU research shows that "WA 64 is harder and has slightly less crispness and juiciness" compared to Honeycrisp.[5]
WSU sponsored a naming contest for the apple, promising a quantity of Cougar Gold cheese to the winner.[6]
