My experience is that in Virginia Spys are late producers. Scoring
really works. There are more and less severe scoring, you might
want to try several types on some limbs. The least severe is one
cut around the trunk under the scaffold limps. The most severe
would be to remove about 1/8 inch section. Some remove a larger
section and replace it upside down. It is most important to cover
any such wound to keep it from drying and from fire blight. I have
used several layers of masking tape. It will come off by itself
later. One or two weeks after bloom is when I have made the scoring.
Good luck, you can really get their attention with scoring.

Would someone care to divulge a recipe for getting slow-to-bear
varieties into production sooner. I have Northern Spy in mind
using Ethrel or NAA or combinations. Apogee perhaps. Other
techniques?
