New Washington apple needs a name
Washington has created a new apple variety – again. And its creators want you to name it.
WA 64 is a cross between a Honeycrisp and a Cripps Pink, also known as a Pink Lady. It’s small to medium in size, pink and yellow, and has “exceptional eating characteristics,” according to Washington State University’s College of Agricultural, Human and Natural Resource Sciences.
Although the new fruit won’t be available in grocery stores until 2029, the university last week launched a contest to come up with a catchy name.
