Pacific Gold apple

General Fruit Growing
#1

I unexpectedly received scion wood of this apple in place of a different scion that I wanted and was wondering if anyone here has any info on it. I really just want to know if I should graft it or toss it.

fruitwoodnursery.com has a description…says it’s superior to Yellow Delicious.

Not a lot of info, but here’s a description from the original discoverer:

Thank you, looks interesting!

I grafted it along with a couple other obscure local scions last year. It has taken off well so far.

Anyone able to post a review of Pacific Gold yet? I have a scion here from Fruitwood, and I’m trying to decide whether to use up some grafting space for it or not. It seems to be pretty obscure.

It grew vigorously last year, I can say that for it. I have no idea whether it’s worth growing or not.

If you decide to throw it away, I’ll offer to re-imburse shipping. :slight_smile:

I’m leaning toward grafting it, but if I don’t, I’ll be happy to send it your way!
