Jonamac Apple Scionwood (Spring 2024)


A McIntosh cross with superior flavor. Also known as NY44428-5.

Jonamac is a productive, upright-spreading tree that is susceptible to scab and somewhat resistant to fireblight. 

Ripening about a week before McIntosh, this apple is medium sized and washed a deep ruby red over green. It has a texture similar to that of McIntosh, but with a superior flavor. This is primarily a dessert apple. The apples hold well to the tree. 

As you might guess, Jonamac is a cross of Jonathan and McIntosh. The tree was crossed in 1944, selected in 1955, and introduced in 1972.

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.
