Scion wood varieties on this page are sold both by the piece and in bulk quantities of a 20-pack. Price listed by the title is for one discounted bulk pack of 20 pieces. When you visit the page for the variety you want, be sure to select “Bulk 20-pack” from the “size” dropdown menu to be sure it is still in stock. Sometimes we sell out of bulk packs and only have individual pieces left at the regular price. We always seek to provide sticks that are close to 12” and pencil thickness at the base but every variety grows differently and so thickness varies.
We ship only within the United States. We do not ship internationally.
Alkmene Apple Scionwood - $70
This late August apple is disease resistant, productive and vigorous. A 1930s German apple has Cox Orange Pippin and the Duchess of Oldenburg as its parents. It’s an apple with a margarita trapped inside. It’s so juicy it drips down your chin and yet it’s still firm. It’s so refreshing with its limeade flavor.

Blenheim Orange Scionwood - $65
From 1740 England. We love their intense flavor, nuttiness and bit of spice. In England these are popular for apple charlotte. It is one of the parents of the legendary Cox Orange Pippin. These produce every other year but their apples are almost always perfect. They resist all the fungal diseases here. We’ve had success grafting them. They are a very late apples, among the last to ripen in our orchard.

Chehalis Scionwood - $65
These originated in the 1930s from a seedling of a Golden Delicious raised by Lloyd Lonburg of Oakville, WA - so these are a PNW native! They bruise easily, so handle them with care! Great for fresh eating and pies. Lasts about 2 months in cold storage.
Note: this apple scionwood is harvested from Fordyce Farm inc. that we operate in Salem, OR. Fordyce Farm inc. is not certified organic.

Foxwhelp (Fauxwhelp) Scionwood - $65
The mysterious U.S. version of an apple that was thought to be a famous English cider apple. Foxwhelp is known for its superior hard cider and is originally from the U.K. It was discovered some time ago through DNA testing that the Foxwhelp variety that was brought to the States and catalogued by the USDA was actually NOT the famous U.K. cider bitter. So the scions distributed through the U.S. from that collection were something altogether different. This U.S. version came to be known then as “Fauxwhelp” to denote the difference. However, it has been shown to be a good fresh eating apple, saucing apple, and still excellent for cider blends. Bittersharp with some tannins, high acidity, and relatively sweet.

Gravenstein Scionwood - $65
We have both the Red Gravenstein and the traditional pictured here. One of the best early ripening cooking apples. Our farm has many Gravenstein trees and has grown these apples for over 40 years. We take scion only from either the small group of very red Gravenstein where all the apples are solid red, slightly smaller and ripen a little later or the section of trees that are consistently traditional Gravenstein in size, coloration and ripening. They all have the amazing Gravenstein flavor. We have bulk quantities of this variety.

Liberty Scionwood - $65
This is an apple released from New York in 1978. It’s disease and pest resistance is amazing. I’ve known trees that were never sprayed, hardly pruned and generally ignored that nonetheless produce beautiful apples every year. These apples are wonderful fresh eating and ripen in September. This is the best apple for novice apple growers.

Ashmead’s Kernel Scionwood - $65
From Gloucester, England and the 1700s. Rowan Jacobson describes the flavor of these as “like a tart homemade lemonade.” He suggests you wait until December to eat these but that depends entirely on how much you like tartness in an apple. These highly russetted apples are reasonably disease resistant. The trees are both productive and vigorous. The scion from them tend to be thicker than a pencil.

Cole’s Quince Scionwood - $65
These apples look and taste a little quince like. They are coveted for cooking but are also tasty as a sliced up dessert apple paired with a nice cheese. They hold reasonably well and so you can display them in a bowl for a while before eating them. These tend to ripen over several weeks. We pick them from early August into September. They have decent disease resistance and are productive every year. Excess heat can make them drop their fruit early. We’ve found them quite easy to graft.

Goldrush Scionwood - $70
These highly disease resistant, very productive, late season apples are favorites on the farm. Our trees have been vigorous growers that produce piles of nearly perfect apples with little attention from us. Yellow, tart, late season and good storing fruit. We hadn’t offered these before because we were keeping all the scion for our own grafting.

Honeycrisp Scionwood - $65
Honeycrisp: I refer to these as an heirloom of the future. It’s not only because they’re tasty it’s because they are fairly easy to grow in organic systems. Disease resistance is good. They can be prone to bitter pit due to calcium deficiencies, so supplementing with calcium in the orchard is helpful. Developed in Minnesota in 1960 it would already meet the 50 year mark some count for calling a plant an “heirloom”. We have bulk quantities of these.

Red Gravenstein Scionwood - $65
We collect scion wood only for the handful of trees that bear the reddest apples. Some see the red Gravenstein as a separate variety and some don’t. Compared to our other Gravenstein we find these to be slightly later, slightly sweeter and they stay on the tree slightly better. The trees we collect from bear almost entirely fully red apples. We have these in bulk quantities.

Rubinette Scionwood - $65
A child of Cox Orange Pippin and Golden Delicious it has the flavor of cox and a really ripe golden, which is amazing. It has the disease proneness of both and then some. They are especially prone to late season fungal infections. They need skillful pruning, thinning and a spray program we have not yet perfected. They do graft easily for us. We have these in bulk quantities.

Williams’ Pride Scionwood - $65
A 1980s apples from the south these are one of the varieties that may carry apple farmers into the post climate change era. They clearly require less chill hours and they are beloved in the south because in an area with rampant fungal disease, they do well. These require very little attention to do well and are great for the novice grower. One of the best tasting early apples. Developed as part of the PRI breeding program.

Belle de Boskoop Scionwood - $65
From the Netherlands of the 1850s. We’re super fans of these apples. They start out tart but age into a true nutty but intensely apple flavor. These also make a fantastic single varietal hard cider. The trees are productive and highly disease resistant. They are vigorous growers and graft easily. The apples are fantastic eaten fresh, baked or fermented. We think these should be on every homestead and in every commercial orchard.

Centennial Sweet Crab Scionwood - $115
Since other Centennial Crab apples are not sweet and ours are very sweet we have considered renaming these Sweet Centennial Crabs. These seem slightly larger and yellower than the ones elsewhere as well. These are little plum shaped fruits with rose blush over pale yellow. These are slow growing trees that seem to stay small even on larger growing rootstock. They are challenging to graft and their growth patterns are unique among the apples in our orchard. However, we’ve found them to be well worth the trouble. They are lovely, delicious, disease resistant and consistent producers.

Dolgo Crab Scionwood - $65
These small apples are rather oval-shaped and the size of a golf ball or smaller. They are a nice deep red and have a bloom. These are sweet-sharp and a little bitter and is best used for jellies, as a sweet-sharp in ciders, or as an ornamental. (We will often use it in holiday centerpieces!) It originated in St. Petersburg, Russia in the 1890s. Its heavy pollen and long bloom period makes it an excellent pollinator for either home orchards or large scale operations.

Granny Smith Scionwood - $65
Everyone knows this large green tart apple. Very late season. To taste it like only those who grow it can, leave it on the tree until December, even January. It sweetens up but maintains the legendary acidity and tastes like tart apple candy. This is available in bulk quantities.

Redfree Scionwood - $65
A, sort of, modern apple that was introduced in 1981 and originated from the PRI breeding program. Nicely round apples, bright red over green and naturally shiny. One of the nicest early apples for fresh eating. Crunchy, juicy and friendly. These trees are productive every year and are scab and insect resistant. These apples get us through the early season every year with their annual abundance. We highly recommend them.

Sundance Scionwood - $65
This apple may be from the 1960s but that makes it a youngster in the apple world. It comes out of Purdue and their breeding program that focused on disease resistance. The goal was to breed in flavor from Golden Delicious and scab resistance from some crab apples while staying larger than crab apples. It has nice flavor and a firm and crisp texture.
