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<p data-start=\"1056\" data-end=\"1330\">Growers value Porter\u2019s Perfection apple scionwood for its bittersweet cider qualities. This English variety produces juice with firm tannins, good sugar levels, and balanced acidity. It works well for bench grafting onto rootstock or for top working established apple trees.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1332\" data-end=\"1369\">A Traditional English Cider Apple<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1371\" data-end=\"1621\">Porter\u2019s Perfection originated in Somerset, England, where cider makers selected it for structure and depth. The fruit produces aromatic juice with strong body and natural tannin. Many cider producers use it in blends to add complexity and mouthfeel.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1623\" data-end=\"1709\">When managed properly, this variety delivers consistent cider quality year after year.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1711\" data-end=\"1738\">Growing Characteristics<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1740\" data-end=\"1988\">Porter\u2019s Perfection trees show moderate vigor and benefit from regular pruning. Provide good airflow and sunlight to maintain fruit health. In cooler climates, the variety ripens mid to late season and performs reliably with attentive orchard care.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1990\" data-end=\"2080\">This apple suits growers building a dedicated cider orchard or expanding a mixed planting.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"2082\" data-end=\"2107\">Grafting and Shipping<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2109\" data-end=\"2338\">We ship Porter\u2019s Perfection 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<p data-start=\"1828\" data-end=\"1949\"><a href=\"https:\/\/littlebearfoxfarm.com\/shop\/product-category\/scionwood\/\">Learn more about our full apple scionwood collection to explore additional heirloom and cider varieties for your orchard.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>How scionwood ordering works:<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Each order includes one 12-inch dormant scionwood stick.<br \/>\n\u2022 Scionwood is cut fresh during winter pruning and shipped promptly.<br \/>\n\u2022 Store scionwood refrigerated on arrival until ready to graft.<br \/>\n\u2022 These are cuttings for grafting, not potted or bare-root trees.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Traditional English cider apple with balanced tannin and acidity.
