Apple Tree - Northern Spy
Northern Spy Apple (Red Spy, Nortern Red Spy) is large, round, and often flattened.  The skin is greenish yellow with pinkish red stripes, a delicate bloom, and occasional russet patches. This apple is rather firm, aromatic and has a subacid flavor.  The flesh is very tender, finely grained, crisp, juicy, and tart.  It remains remakably fresh after a long storage period.  The Northern Spy is an excellent all purpose apple, but is not good for drying or making apple cider. The tree is very large, upright, a vigorous grower, and productive.  It blooms late in the season and takes about 12 years to bear fruit. Ripens in late October and tends to bear biennially. Requires a pollinator such as Golden Delicious.
