Harry Master's Jersey Scionwood
Graft a Somerset Staple Into Your Orchard
Harry Master's Jersey is one of the most widely planted bittersweet cider apple varieties in Somerset, and for good reason. It's reliable, productive, and produces a juice rich in tannins and natural sugar that forms the backbone of countless traditional West Country ciders. If you're building a cider orchard, this is one of the first varieties you should be grafting.
We offer Harry Master's Jersey 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.
