Queener Farm has only offered Cameo apple scionwood for a couple years. For years the trees had been too scab infected to produce marketable fruit and lacked vigor. After the farm switched to a nutrient based program, they responded with gusto. The apples were near perfect and the trees thrived and grew. They also handled the “heat dome” of 2020 with temperatures reaching 115 remarkably well. They had no protection and experienced minimal sunburn and no bitterpit response. If you are in an area with little scab or you have a program for dealing with it these can be a lovely addition to your orchard.
