Oregon Spur II (specifically the Green cultivar) stands out as a classic, highly reliable selection of the Red Delicious family, discovered in Washington as a distinct bud sport of the original Oregon Spur. Classified as a true spur-type, it exhibits an ultra-compact, low-vigor growth habit that concentrates energy tightly into heavy fruiting spurs. What truly sets it apart from all other old spur varieties is its superior fruit sizing capability; it consistently produces the largest average fruit size of its generation, pushing bold, heavy weights where other old spurs tend to run small under heavy crop loads. The strain is highly valued for its distinctive coloring pattern, developing an attractive dark red stripe over a lighter red background. The fruit yields a classic elongated conical shape with distinct crown lobes, remaining a highly durable, large-sizing, time-tested performer in mountain orchards.
