Borowinka (Duchess) Seedling Apple

Malus domestica Late Summer. While most apple seeds do not grow true to type, the progeny of Duchess, or Duchess of Oldenburg, are very similar to the parent tree.

Over the years we’ve offered many apple varieties that are Duchess seedlings, all just variations on a theme, including Nutting Bumpus and New Brunswicker. Borowinka seedlings are extremely rugged and were among the first apples to be successfully grown north of Bangor. Whole fields in Aroostook County are overgrown with these pippins and the fruit is all similar—good tart late-summer cooking and sauce apples with the characteristic Duchess stripes.

Often used as a rootstock for grafting, Borowinka seedlings are standard-sized, vigorous, disease resistant and cold hardy. Grow these trees for their own fruit, or topwork (graft) on varieties of your choice. Early to midseason blooms. Z3. Maine Grown. NEW!
