Hawaii Apple Scionwood (Spring 2024)


A pineapple-flavored gourmet dessert apple.

This is a medium sized, vigorous, upright-spreading tree with wide crotch angles that will need diligent pruning to maintain annual bearing. It is susceptible to scab and bitter pit, but resistant to cedar-apple rust.

A medium-to-large apple, Hawaii has a waxy yellow skin that is often overlaid with a pretty pinkish flush. Its parents are Golden Delicious and Gravenstein, and it has the appearance of a Golden Delicious but the aromatic sweetness of the Gravenstein. The flesh is crisp and, according to Tom Burford (Apples of North America), a distinct pineapple flavor develops when the tree is grown in California and other western states.

This cross of Golden Delicious and Gravenstein was made in 1945 by William Silva of Sebastopol, California. Hawaii was released commercially in 1963.

Clean vs. Regular

Our clean scion is harvested from trees grown on G.16, which is extremely sensitive to viruses. These trees would not have survived if the scion contained viruses. Our clean wood has not been lab tested. Regular = may contain one of the common latent viruses; this is not usually a problem and can be used with most rootstocks.
