Northern Spy 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.<\/p>\n
Growers value Northern Spy apple scionwood for its vigorous growth and classic heirloom character. This variety works well for bench grafting onto rootstock or for top working established trees. It suits orchardists who want a dependable late season apple with strong structure.<\/p>\n
Northern Spy originated in the early 1800s in New York. It gained popularity for its large fruit, firm texture, and balanced flavor. The apples develop red striping over a green background and store well after harvest.<\/p>\n
The flavor combines sweetness with bright acidity, making it suitable for fresh eating, baking, and traditional cider blending.<\/p>\n
Northern Spy trees grow vigorously and benefit from regular pruning to manage structure. Provide good airflow and sunlight to maintain fruit quality. In cooler climates, the variety ripens late and rewards growers with reliable harvests.<\/p>\n
This apple fits well into heritage orchards and mixed plantings where long season varieties add diversity.<\/p>\n
We ship Northern Spy 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.<\/p>\n
