Kudos apple - 2025

Got some Kudos apples, they are sizing pretty good, similar to my Honeycrisp.
Tree is 2nd leaf, grown as tall spindle.

Based on my observation during 2025 growing season, Kudos might be prone to Bitter Rot, similar to his parent Honeycrisp.

How did the kudos end up for you? Did you notice leaf chlorosis issues like honeycrisp also?

I’d say kudos are affected by leaf chlorosis. Not sure if it’s apple mosaic virus or not.

I tasted that damaged apple - too soon, it was not ripe yet. Other two apples are still hanging, they just started coloring this week.



A big Kudos apple just dropped today! Unfortunately, it doesn’t have the advertised bright red color - probably because the tree was partially shaded. I only have one small apple left on the tree.
