Planting and Care

• Planting: Choose a sunny, well-drained site with proper spacing and keep the graft union above the soil line.
• Watering: Maintain consistent soil moisture, particularly during dry periods, without overwatering.
• Fertilizing: Apply a balanced, slow-release fruit-tree fertilizer in spring and avoid over-fertilization.
• Pruning: Prune during dormancy for structure and airflow; remove water sprouts and suckers.
• Fruit thinning: Thin excess fruit in spring to support larger, higher-quality apples.
• Harvesting: Pick when the apples show their characteristic red-and-yellow color and release readily from the tree.
• Pest and disease care: Inspect regularly and maintain good orchard sanitation.
