Honeycrisp Apple Scionwood

Honeycrisp 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 Honeycrisp apple scionwood for its crisp texture and balanced sweetness. This modern variety works well for bench grafting onto rootstock or for top working established apple trees. It suits orchardists who want a high demand fresh eating apple.

Flavor and Fruit Quality

Honeycrisp produces medium to large apples with red over yellow skin and exceptionally crisp flesh. The fruit snaps cleanly when bitten and delivers sweet flavor with refreshing acidity. Many growers value this variety for fresh market sales and home orchards.

The apples store well when handled properly and maintain their firm texture.

Growing Characteristics

Honeycrisp trees grow with moderate vigor and benefit from careful pruning and thinning. Provide good sunlight and airflow to support fruit quality. In cooler climates, the variety ripens mid season and produces reliable crops with proper management.

This apple fits well into diversified orchards where fresh eating varieties drive customer interest.

Grafting and Shipping

We ship Honeycrisp 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.
