Additional Info
Additional Info
The Spygold apple is a large, attractive fruit with a golden-yellow skin often flushed with a rosy blush. Its flesh is firm, crisp, and juicy, offering a sweet, tangy flavor that is excellent for fresh eating, baking, and cooking.
Northern Spygold combines the rich, aromatic flavor of Northern Spy with the crisp sweetness and reliable productivity of Golden Delicious. The fruit is firm, juicy, and excellent for fresh eating, baking, and long-term storage, often improving in flavor after a brief curing period. Grafted onto M111 rootstock, this tree gains strong vigor, drought tolerance, and dependable cold-hardiness, making it well suited to northern orchards and challenging soils. Northern Spygold on M111 offers consistent yields, great all-purpose fruit quality, and a resilient, long-lived tree for cold-climate growers.
