- Feeding: No need to feed.
- Pruning: Prune regularly each winter to ensure your apple tree maintains a productive shape. This can improve yields and prevent disease.
- Pest & Disease: Prone to aphids. Clear a 60cm radius at the base of the tree and keep weeds to a minimum. Introduce aphid predators to your garden using companion planting.
