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=\"889\" data-end=\"1171\">Growers choose Kingston Black apple scionwood for its exceptional cider quality. This classic English bittersweet variety produces juice with strong tannin, balanced acidity, and rich aroma. It works well for bench grafting onto rootstock or for top working established apple trees.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1173\" data-end=\"1206\">A Classic English Bittersweet<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1208\" data-end=\"1510\">Kingston Black originated in Somerset, England, and earned a reputation as a true single varietal cider apple. The fruit develops deep red skin over a yellow background and produces dense, flavorful juice. Many cider makers prize it for its ability to create structured, complex cider without blending.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1512\" data-end=\"1611\">The variety delivers depth, body, and fermentation character that define traditional English cider.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1613\" data-end=\"1640\">Growing Characteristics<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1642\" data-end=\"1890\">Kingston Black trees grow with moderate vigor and benefit from regular pruning. Provide good sunlight and airflow 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=\"1892\" data-end=\"1986\">This apple suits growers establishing a dedicated cider orchard or expanding a mixed planting.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1988\" data-end=\"2013\">Grafting and Shipping<\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2239\">We ship Kingston Black 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>&nbsp;<\/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>Iconic English cider apple producing balanced, complex cider.
