Novaspy Apple Scionwood
History: Novaspy (aka Nova Spy) was developed at the AAFC Kentville Research and Development Centre in Nova Scotia by A.C. Crowe. It was bred to be a more disease-resistant version of Northern Spy and has Northern Spy, Nova Easygro, and Golden Delicious heritage. It was commercially released in 1986, its name referencing its province of origin and the apple it was trying to replicate.Â
Why We Grow It: As with other apples released from the AAFC breeding program in Kentville, NS, you can expect excellent disease-resistance from Novaspy. However, its resemblance to Northern Spy is not close enough to warrant the name-- think of Novaspy as having its own new identity to try out. Tree comes into bearing early in life and is an easy one to take care of. Highly recommended for small-scale organic orchards.
