#ProPlantTips For Care

Fruit trees need full sun, 8 plus hours a day of sunshine provide the most blooms and the largest yields.

Morning sun is especially good for fruit trees. The drying power of the morning sun will quickly dry off the foliage. Keep the leaves dry when you can.

Hardy in USDA hardiness zones 4 through 9, these trees thrive throughout most of North America. Good disease resistance and low maintenance, this Apple variety is fantastic for the home gardener.

Moderate moisture needs, protect your investment and boost yields by not allowing your tree to endure drought at all. A thick layer of mulch over the root system insulates the roots from heat and cold, plus holds in more moisture!

Any well-drained soil and organically rich medium are great for these trees! If you need to improve drainage, create a raised garden bed to plant in. Mound up the soil to 18 inches high and 3 feet wide. Plant in that mound.

Prune in summer to keep the height where you want it. Tip prune to an outside-facing bud. These trees are often trained as Espalier and can be kept trained smaller for smaller yards!

Most pruning is done to keep the canopy open to increase air circulation, reducing fungal issues and disease.
