Red Rome Beauty Apple Tree

Rosy red round fruit, the Red Rome Beauty Apple Tree (Malus domestica 'Rome') is a medium-large, Apple with lovely greenish-white, fine-grained, juicy flesh that is perfect for baking because it holds together great when cooked! These spur-bearing trees are named after the Ohio town where this chance seedling was discovered.

Hardy throughout USDA growing zones 6 through 9, you can try pairing with an early season and a late season ripening Apple tree to extend your harvest! The late-arriving fragrant blossoms show up later to avoid lingering spring frosts to ensure an abundant crop by September to October.

Red Rome Beauty Apple Trees are moderately self-fruitful on their own, however, you will enjoy a larger harvest when you plant multiple Red Rome Apples or among other Apple trees with a similar bloom time. No room? Prune your tree as needed for size, or try high-density planting when landscape spacing is at a premium.

Planting and Application:

Apple trees are more than just fruit trees, Rome Beauty is indeed beautiful and the drifts of white late-spring blooms make these ornamental flowering trees, and the lush green foliage cast great shade too! Then the fruit arrives and the entire tree is bedecked in gleaming red gems! Four seasons of beauty on a sturdy edible landscaping tree!

Red Rome Beauty Apple Trees attract bees and butterflies, and wildlife loves the fruit, even birds will enjoy nesting in the strong branching. If you have the room, create groupings of these trees for shade, habitat, and increased pollination. Another great space-saving method of increasing pollination is to create hedgerows along your property line of Apple trees for a linear orchard that serves as privacy and property definition!

#ProPlantTips for Care:

Apple trees need full sun and at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Morning sun is best, as the strong rays quickly dry off the foliage from overnight dew. Plant Apple trees in fertile, well-drained soil, enriched with compost and organic matter. Provide air circulation, and choose a site with slightly acidic soil, with a sandy-loam medium. Plan to supply a regular schedule of water. This is critical during the first year in your landscape. Add supplemental water during fruit development every year and during drought. Add a 3-4 inch layer of arborist mulch.

Prune in late winter to maintain a vase-shaped canopy with scaffolding branches at a 45-degree angle. Remove branches that cross or shade others, or grow into the interior of the canopy. Your goal is to work to increase sunlight and air circulation in the canopy.

Apple Tree Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take for Apple Trees to bear fruit?

Nature Hills Nursery sells fruit trees with mature root systems that are already three to four years old, so you'll enjoy fruit sooner than you would with younger trees! Expect your young Apple tree to begin fruiting usually by the 2nd-4th year after you plant them.

How Fast Do Apple Trees Grow?

Once your Apple tree has been established (after the first year), it can typically add 12-18 inches of new growth in a growing season. If your plants are adding less than that in a season, it may be worth your while to check the fertility level.

Where do Apple Trees Grow Best?

Apple trees grow best in well-drained, fertile soil in at least 6 hours of full sun per day or more. Provide good air circulation and moderate, yet consistent water. They do need very well-drained soil.

Do You Need 2 Apple Trees to Produce Fruit?

Many Apple trees are self-fertile, however planting more than one Apple tree that blooms at about the same time, boosts yields on both trees and extends your harvest time! The Apple Tree is self-pollinating and doesn't need a pollinator to produce fruit.

Apple trees that need a pollinator partner will have the appropriate tree(s) listed for you to choose from. Nature Hills Nursery lists pollinators for each tree on the product pages. This gives you must-have information right at your fingertips!

No room? Look into High-Density Planting techniques, or choose a semi-dwarf or dwarf fruit tree.

When Should Apple Tree be Planted?

Bareroot Apple trees can be planted in spring when they are available in your area. Container-grown Apple trees can be very successfully transplanted all throughout the growing season. Check the first and last frost dates for your area with your local County Extension Office.

• Plant bareroot Apple trees in the early spring.
• Plant container-grown trees anytime the ground is not frozen by digging a hole as deep as the soil line and twice as wide.
