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 *CC*. 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.
