Scion

Papirovka Apple Scionwood (Spring 2026)


An early-season heirloom widely grown in Russia and Poland. Also known as Early Paper Apple, Polish Paper Apple, Paperovka, Papierówka.

The tree is of medium vigor with a narrow, pyramidal form when young, but it rounds out when mature. It is vigorous, cold hardy (similar to Antonovka), and precocious. It tends to overcrop and has a strong biennial tendency. It is moderately resistant to scab.

The early-season fruit is medium sized, rounded and slightly flat, usually with well-defined, wide ribs. A sharp longitudinal seam is visible on many fruits. The skin is greenish-yellow with a white bloom; it is smooth, thin, and fragrant. The white flesh is tender and coarse grained with a highly acidic, sweet-tart flavor. Papirovka should be consumed soon after harvest. It bruises easily and soon becomes mealy; this is not a storage or shipping apple.

Papirovka is widely grown in Central and Eastern Europe and the Baltics.

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.
