GoldRush Apple Scionwood

GoldRush 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 select GoldRush apple scionwood for its intense flavor and excellent storage ability. This late season variety produces firm fruit with bright acidity and concentrated sweetness. It works well for bench grafting onto rootstock or for top working established trees.

Flavor and Fruit Quality

GoldRush apples develop a golden yellow skin and dense, crisp flesh. The flavor combines high sugar with strong acidity, creating a sharp, balanced bite. After harvest, the fruit improves in storage and develops deeper complexity.

Many orchardists plant GoldRush for fresh eating, baking, and long term winter storage.

Growing Characteristics

GoldRush trees show good disease resistance and steady productivity. Provide full sunlight and proper pruning to maintain fruit quality. In cool coastal climates, this variety ripens late and extends the harvest season.

Its consistent performance makes it a strong choice for diversified orchards.

Grafting and Shipping

We ship GoldRush 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.
