<div dir="ltr">First of all, "Cosmic Crisp" is a stupid name, no doubt, some committee consisting of 500 came up with it. Sounds like a pimpled-up teen-aged super-hero character from another planet who gets real flakey if you mess with him. And by the way, he has a red outfit with a big logo on his chest with a yellow <b>CC</b>. Secondly, it doesn't taste that good. I've tasted it two or three times. Third, I understand it's meant for Washington growers only, wherein WSU has a restriction. I not sure about this, but if true, I wonder if WSU gets any our federal taxes. Is so, and you want to grow it, contact your Senator. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Mar 21, 2017 at 10:59 AM, maurice tougas <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:appleman.maurice@gmail.com" target="_blank">appleman.maurice@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">My understanding is that Cosmic Crisp will be an open variety in seven years.<div><br></div><div> Numbers we were quoted for "all in" establishment costs per acre was $60,000 on a large planting.
