Nova Spy Apple Tree

Superior to Other "Spy" Varieties

Standard-size trees start bearing in just 3 years—old Northern Spy takes 10+ years! Wonderful, vanilla-like flavor. Large fruit is good fresh, in pies and cider. Disease resistant. Matures mid Oct. Zones 4-8.

Best apple for pies that I have found. Slow to produce but worth every year.

First year growth!
Reviewed By: Matt (Omaha, Nebraska)
Planted the Nova Spy "stick" in early Summer and didn't expect much this first year. This little tree has sprouted like crazy! I can't wait for the first batch of apples in a year or two. Thank you Gurney's for a great apple tree at a great price!
