Liveland Raspberry Apple Scionwood

This is a twig for grafting. Summer. Originated in Estonia where it is known as Suislepper; imported to the U.S. from Russia in 1870. Also called Lowland Raspberry.

One of the hardiest and finest summer apples. Still found here and there in Maine dooryards and orchards. Unlike many summer apples, which are tart, hard, green one day then soft and mushy the next, Liveland Raspberry is actually crisp and breaking when it’s ripe and stays that way just long enough to use up and enjoy the crop. Medium to large round fruit with very tender clear waxen white skin is striped, shaded and marbled with light crimson. The white flesh, often stained red, is tender, mild, pleasant, subacid, almost sweet. One of the best varieties for summer fresh eating and of course for cooking.

Around us it ripens late August. Will not store. Vigorous productive small to medium-sized tree. Disease and pest resistant. Early to midseason bloomer. Z3.

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.)
