Fruit
Honeoye
B tier
Honeoye is a hardy Northeast US June-bearer—early, productive, bright red, good for freezing and jam as well as fresh. Flavour is solid rather than ethereal; plants tolerate cold winters. A reliable garden and U-pick cultivar in cold climates. Freezes with less mush than some softer dessert types.
