- Pollination: Requires a pollination partner to produce fruit. Choose another apple tree from pollination group 2, 3, or 4. In most built-up areas, a suitable tree is likely to be nearby.
- Watering: Water in thoroughly when planting. For bare root trees, you only need to water again during dry spells. Water heavily and less frequently to encourage deep root growth.
- Feeding: This tree does not require feeding.
- Pruning: Your tree arrives professionally pruned. Some pruning should be done each winter to ensure the tree maintains a productive shape, which can improve yields and prevent disease.
- Fruiting: You may see your first apples in the first year after planting, but don't expect substantial crops until the 3rd or 4th year. Consider thinning fruit in the first few years to help the tree establish.
