An apple tree is a beautiful and nutritious addition to any backyard orchard! Beautiful spring blooms will delight. All our apple trees are self-fertile, however cross pollination with a different variety will yield even better results.
Deciduous, slow growing, upright tree. 3-5 years before fruit production. Growth size dependent on root stock. Apple trees can be pruned to a central leader or open center. No matter the maximum size, the trees can be kept to any desired height by summer pruning.
Care
| Sun Needs: | Plant in full sun (minimum 6 hours). |
| Soil/Water Needs: | Enriched, well-drained soil is best. Water deeply and regularly for first few growing seasons to develop an extensive and strong root system. Reduce frequency once established. |
| Planting and Care Tip: | Apply fertilizer in early spring. Prune as needed for desired shape and tree health. Thin heavy crops in late spring. |
