Northern Spy in Southern California?

 

Well, yes and no.  Northern Spy sets fruit just fine here, proving that just about any apple variety will fruit here despite our lack of chilling hours.  But just because it will fruit doesn't mean it will necessarily be good, and I'm afraid Northern Spy was terrible- colorless, mushy, bland.  But don't despair, as there are many other apple varieties well suited to our climate.  Click on our Favorites List to see this year's picks.
