A seedling that originated in east Bloomfield in western New York in 1828. It was initially selected for its excellent and long keeping fruit. Northern Spy became a popular rootstock with Australian orchardists due to its good resistance to Wooly Aphids. It is still in limited use today.
Northern Spy produces medium sized trees of similar size to MM106 trees with good cropping from a reasonably young tree age.
*Plant growth is always influenced by climate, nutrition, water availability, scion vigour, etc, so height figures are always only a guide.
