Grinder Goblin Apple Scionwood

This is a twig for grafting. Late Fall. Bittersharp cider apple. Unknown parentage. Rocky Ground Cider intro, Newburgh, ME.

Large blocky often ribbed fruit can be so big it needs to be cut in half to fit in the grinder before pressing! Greenish-yellow skin with some faint red blush and a russeted stem cavity. Keeps well and bitterness increases in storage. On trial in MOFGA’s no-spray South Orchard where it is growing vigorously. Blooms midseason. Z4.

Additional Information

Scionwood

Scions are twigs, not trees. They have no roots and will not grow if you plant them. They are cuttings from dormant branch tips, intended for spring grafting.

We do our best to provide ¼" caliper stock. Because of factors beyond our control (such as weather!) stock may be ³⁄₁₆–³⁄₈".

We sell scionwood in two ways:

By the stick: One 8" stick will graft 3-4 trees.
By the foot: Minimum order of 10 feet per variety. For orchardists grafting large numbers of trees of a particular variety. In our own nursery work, we are usually able to graft 6-8 trees from one foot of scionwood.

You can graft right away or store scionwood for later use. It will keep quite well for several weeks stored in sealed ziplock bags in the refrigerator.

The deadline for ordering scionwood is February 21, 2025, for shipment around March 10. (Please note: we ship scionwood only in mid-March. If you would like to order rootstock to arrive in the same shipment, select mid-March shipping when adding the rootstock to your cart.)
