Scion

Fortune Apple Apple Scionwood (Spring 2023)


A beautiful, large, mid-late season dessert apple. Also known as NY 429.

Originally tested as NY 429, Fortune is vigorous and very productive; it will tend to biennialism if allowed to crop heavily. It is susceptible to scab, mildew, and fireblight, but resistant to cedar-apple rust. Bitter pit is also an issue with this cultivar.

The fruit is large and attractive, a deep burgundy flushed over green. The fresh eating quality is high, with a sweet-tart, sprightly flavor that lingers with tropical and citrus notes. It stores well–for up to five months–and is a great pie and sauce apple. NYSAES notes that it has the processing qualities of a Spy.

Fortune is a cross of Empire and Schoharie Spy, developed by Roger Way at Cornell and released in 1995.

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.
