Planting & Care

Plant Honeycrisp™ Apple Trees in a location that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight each day. Choose well-drained soil and dig a hole about twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Place the tree so the top of the root ball sits level with the surrounding soil, backfill with soil, and water thoroughly to settle the roots. Apply mulch around the base to conserve moisture and reduce weeds. Water regularly during the growing season, especially while the tree is establishing. Once the tree begins producing fruit, prune during dormancy to remove damaged branches and encourage healthy growth and productive fruiting.
