Zabergau Reinette Apple Scionwood

Winter. Württemberg, Germany, 1885. One of the most famous of all European heirlooms.

Excellent fresh eating and good for cooking. Very large, sometimes huge, round-conic, sometimes lopsided, greenish-bronze russeted fruit with a red-orange blush. Similar to Pomme Grise in color, but much larger. Quite visible whitish russet spots cover the entire fruit. A very attractive apple. Firm white fine-grained flesh with a rich nutty intense sweet-sharp flavor—fruity with hints of raspberry. Keeps well until midwinter and sweetens up in storage. Productive upright vigorous tree. Triploid: will not pollinate other varieties. Blooms midseason. Z4.

Additional Information

Scionwood

Scions are twigs, not trees. They have no roots and will not grow if you plant them.

The deadline for ordering scionwood is February 21, 2025, for shipment around March 11. (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.)

We sell scionwood in two ways:

By the stick: One 8" stick will graft 3 or 4 trees.
By the foot: For orchardists grafting large numbers of trees of a particular variety, we also offer scionwood by the foot (minimum order of 10 feet per 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.
