A highly flavored, late-season dessert apple, perfect for organic production.
Dudley Apple Scionwood (Spring 2026)
An excellent cold-climate apple. Also known as Dudley Winter, North Star.
Dudley is a moderately vigorous, productive tree with a spreading and drooping habit. It is susceptible to scab. The USDA reports that it is cold hardy to -50°F.
The apple is medium-large, bright greenish yellow, splashed and striped red. The flesh is tinged yellow, firm, crisp, and juicy with a brisk subacid flavor. Dudley will store well for 2-3 months, and its flavor improves during storage. This is an excellent cold-climate apple for sauce and baking. If allowed to ripen fully this apple becomes mellow enough for fresh eating.
Dudley is a cross of Duchess of Oldendburg and Hyslop Crab grown by J. W. Dudley of Maine around 1875.
