Apple Tree - Northern Spy
Apple Tree - Northern Spy Northern Spy Apple (Red Spy, Nortern Red Spy) is large, round, and often flattened.

While this may sound a bit sneaky, the sad truth is some nurseries try to make their trees seem a lot taller by including the roots in the height. Even worse, others will charge you for a large tree but then hack them down to save money on shipping. We sell our trees with the height measured from the base up. When you buy a tree from Nature Hills Nursery, it will be the height you paid for after you plant it. We take pride in delivering the highest quality plants with healthy roots and full, well-established stems and foliage. You can buy in confidence with our one year plant guarantee.
