Braeburn Apple Scionwood

Braeburn apple scionwood comes from healthy, mature trees growing in our Oregon Coast orchard. We cut each stick during full dormancy to protect bud strength and ensure strong grafting success. Every 12 inch stick contains multiple viable buds and comes from true to type trees.

Growers choose Braeburn apple scionwood for its balanced flavor and dependable late season harvest. This variety works well for bench grafting onto rootstock or for top working established trees. It suits orchardists who want a productive tree with firm fruit and good storage potential.

Flavor and Fruit Quality

Braeburn produces medium to large apples with red and orange striping over a yellow background. The flesh is crisp and juicy with a balance of sweetness and acidity. Many growers value this variety for fresh eating, baking, and market sales.

The fruit stores well under proper conditions and maintains firmness after harvest.

Growing Characteristics

Braeburn trees grow with moderate vigor and respond well to regular pruning. Provide good sunlight and airflow to maintain fruit quality. In cooler coastal climates, the variety ripens late in the season and extends harvest into fall.

This apple fits well into diversified orchards where staggered harvest timing increases flexibility.

Grafting and Shipping

We ship Braeburn apple scionwood during dormancy to preserve freshness and vigor. The wood works well for whip and tongue grafting, cleft grafting, and bark grafting. Each stick receives clear labeling before shipment.
