Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Your Fuji Apple tree needs a minimum of six to eight hours of direct sunlight every day. Full sun is the engine that drives sugar production, so more light directly translates to sweeter, crunchier fruit at harvest time.
  • Soil: These trees thrive in well-drained, loamy soil that is rich in organic matter. If you are dealing with heavy clay, plant your tree in a wide, shallow mound to keep the "feet" out of standing water and improve drainage.

Watering Requirements

During the first two growing seasons, provide about 10 gallons of water per week to help the root system expand into the surrounding soil. Once established, Fuji trees are moderately drought-tolerant, but inconsistent watering during the heat of summer can lead to bitter pit or smaller fruit. Aim for deep, infrequent soakings that reach 12 inches into the soil rather than light daily sprinkles.

Pruning Tips

Fuji apples bloom on "old wood," specifically on short branches called spurs that develop over several years. Prune in late winter while the tree is dormant to thin out the center of the canopy, which allows sunlight and air to reach the interior fruit. Think of it like opening a window; better airflow prevents fungal issues and ensures every apple gets enough light to develop that signature red blush.

Fertilizer Needs

Apply a balanced, slow-release fruit tree fertilizer in early spring just as the buds begin to swell. Avoid high-nitrogen fertilizers after mid-summer because they encourage soft, green growth that won't harden off before winter, making the tree vulnerable to freeze damage. A steady, moderate feeding schedule ensures the tree has the nutrients it needs to support a heavy crop without sacrificing its overall structural health.

Description

Fuji Apple Tree - Sweet Crisp Fruit!

One of the most prized Apples in the United States, the Fuji Apple Tree (Malus 'Fuji') delivers a spectacular spring display and produces an outstanding fall harvest of fruit. One of the most popular worldwide ornamental edibles, this variety is a native of Japan.

A cross between the Red Delicious and the Virginia Ralls Genet, the refreshing flavor of the Fuji Apple is prized! It's now one of the favorite Apples in the United States. You'll love that hearty crunch when you bite into a Fuji, followed by the succulent, sweet juice that naturally flows from the firm texture of the fruit.

Fuji Apples feature a wonderful dappled pink blush over a yellow-green fruit. They are well known for being juicy, crisp and sweet. The flesh snaps cleanly, and the texture is firm yet tender.

Hardy throughout USDA Growing Zones 6-9, this ornamental landscaping tree has two size options - either choose a Semi-Dwarf tree with an average height of 12 - 18 feet, or the standard height of 18 - 25 feet tall. This variance is due to the root stock used and your growing zone/growing conditions available.

Using Homegrown Fuji Apples

These large, round fruits have a long shelf-life and keep well in storage and will last up to 3 months in a cool, dry and dark location. Even when picked straight off the tree, they will last up to 3 weeks when stored in the refrigerator.

It's great for snacking, as well as a good baking Apple. Use this all-purpose Apple variety for fresh eating, applesauce and all your favorite Apple desserts. The Fuji is great for baking and makes a wonderful Apple juice or cider!

A popular Apple juice combination has been the Fuji pressed with Granny Smith. They'll be the perfect partner for a pollination and juicing partner for the Fuji!

You'll thrill to watch in amazement as the tree bears fruit. These tiny Apples begin to bud out on your tree before slowly growing, day by day, to maturity.

While other Apple varieties are closing up shop for the year and losing their splendor, the late mid-season Fuji is still growing strong! By October, its first red Fujis are ready for harvest.

Grow your own healthy Fuji Apples. You'll feel great about sharing them with your family and friends. With only 80 calories per Apple, but simply bursting with flavor - they'll easily tame your appetite without fear of adding unwanted pounds.

We can't make the same guarantee about Apple pie, crisps and buckles, but life is short, isn't it? There is nothing like the taste of homegrown fruit.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Fuji trees can be held to below 10 feet with summer pruning. It is recommended to keep your Apple trees low for easier maintenance and harvests.

Fuji Apple is now considered a low chill cultivar needing less than 500 chill hours and for practical purposes, and is considered to grow beautifully with a 200 to 400-hour chilling range.

Fuji Apple is partially self-fertile in Zone 9, but will produce much larger crops and fruit sets better with a pollinator partner tree in all other Zones. To extend your harvest of Apples, plant with an earlier ripening Honeycrisp or Gala, then add in a mid-season Yellow Delicious Apple. You can also select a late season Granny Smith to extend your harvest over 6 months!

Apple fruit trees require full sun to ensure top quality and sweetness. They prefer well drained soil, so plant them in a raised bed if your soil has less than perfect drainage. Fuji Apple is adapted to a wide range of soil types, but really likes a pH between 6-6.5.

Apples do best in an organic rich soil but will tolerate different types of soil including heavier clay soils. If unsure of the health of your soil, a soil test is always a good idea.

Once established, the Fuji Apple can tolerate periods of drought. Mulching helps to extend the periods between watering and helps to keep the roots cool.

Sunburn can be a problem in areas of low humidity. Protect your newly planted Fuji Apple with a tree trunk wrap, or a whitewash paint of a white interior latex paint diluted by 50% with water. Paint up into the lower canopy to protect the tree's truck from burn.
