Bulmer's Norman Scionwood

Graft a Bittersweet Built for the Blend

Bulmer's Norman is a tried-and-true English bittersweet, developed by the Bulmers cider company and long valued for its reliable cropping and consistent juice quality. Medium in tannin and low in acidity, it produces a smooth, mellow juice that ferments cleanly and integrates beautifully in a blend — adding body and gentle sweetness without dominating the other varieties around it. It's the kind of dependable workhorse that every serious cider orchard benefits from having.

We offer Bulmer's Norman as scionwood — freshly cut grafting wood from our own trees here at The Orchard Point Prim on Prince Edward Island. Each stick is approximately 4 inches long with a minimum of 3 healthy buds, ready to graft onto your rootstock of choice.
