Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun exposure and well-drained soil. Dig a planting hole twice the width of the root ball and equal in depth, then gently loosen the roots before placing the tree in the hole and backfilling with soil. Water thoroughly and apply mulch around the base, keeping it away from the trunk. Water regularly throughout the growing season, checking soil moisture 2–3 inches down. Note that you'll need at least two compatible apple tree varieties nearby for proper pollination and fruit set. Prune lightly once the tree is established to maintain shape and promote healthy fruit production.
