#ProPlantTips For Care

Apple trees need full sun for the most blooms and best fruit production. Any site receiving 6 plus hours of direct sunlight per day is optimal. Be sure to choose a site with great air circulation. Add Nature Hills Root Booster while planting for a life-long symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots.

Fruit trees also require consistent moisture or best crops. Plant in rich, organic medium and well-drained soil on the slightly acidic side. Add compost to your planting site to add higher organic matter to the soil.

For best results, fertilize your tree regularly with Dr. Earth Fruit Tree Fertilizer or a good organic, slow-release fertilizer. A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.
