Lemoen Apple Scionwood (Spring 2024)


A beloved heirloom apple from the Netherlands. Also known as Lemoenappel, Limoenappel.

The tree has a broad, open habit, and it is reported to be scab and mildew resistant.

A large, yellow, ribbed apple with some russeting, Lemoen has an elongated and tapering form. The flesh is white with a greenish tinge and the flavor, as the name suggests, is intensely acidic with just a hint of sweetness, like a lemon. The flavor mellows in storage.

This variety was raised in the Netherlands by J. H. Th. van den Ham, in the villiage of Lunteren, Veluwe, north west Arnhem. In 1899 it was awarded first prize by the Netherlands Horticultural Society, and it remains a beloved apple in the Netherlands and Belgium today.

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.
