Instructions
Top Tip
Prune apple trees annually during their dormant period in winter to promote healthy growth and maximise fruit production. Remove any dead, diseased, or overcrowded branches to maintain an open structure that allows sunlight and air to reach the centre of the tree. This not only improves fruit quality but also reduces the risk of fungal diseases. For optimal results, pair your apple tree with a compatible pollinator variety.
How to Water
Water apple trees deeply after planting and regularly during the first year to establish a strong root system. Mature trees benefit from consistent watering during dry spells, particularly in spring and summer when fruit is forming. Avoid overwatering, ensuring the soil is moist but not soggy. Water early in the morning or late in the evening to minimise evaporation and allow the tree to absorb moisture efficiently.
How to Plant
To plant an apple tree, select a sunny spot with well-draining soil, ideally with a pH of 6.0–7.0. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and slightly shallower than its depth. Position the tree with its graft union above soil level, backfill gently with soil, and firm it lightly to eliminate air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting and apply a layer of mulch around the base to retain moisture and prevent weeds, leaving a gap around the trunk to avoid rot. Stake the tree if necessary to protect it from strong winds.
