- Self pollinating tree. Each cultivars’ fruit will be enhanced by the cross pollination of the other varieties. This creates better fruit and more abundant production.
- Grow your own fruit. When you grow your own fruit you not only save money, but you can grow healthy, organic, clean fruit. You don’t have to worry about nasty residues and pesticides like with store bought apples. Our 5 in 1 Apple tree is a neat tool for teaching kids about planting, growing, and harvesting food.
How to Care
Spring and fall are ideal times to plant your 5 in 1 Apple tree. If you avoid extreme heat and supplement with extra water you can plant your fruit tree in summer. If the ground is not frozen you can plant your tree in winter.
Apple trees thrive in full sun and well drained soil.
Water deeply when planting and twice weekly for 2-3 months while your tree is establishing. For the first year, we recommend watering deeply once weekly in spring and summer and once monthly in fall in winter after the establishment period. After the first year you will only need to water during dry spells. Always water your apple tree at the base with a hose. Overhead watering encourages fungal infections.
Add a layer of 2 inches of mulch around your newly planted tree. Extend the mulch mound a few inches beyond the root zone. Do not allow the mulch to touch the trunk as this increases the chances of pests and disease.
Feed your apple tree a slow release fertilizer when planting and in spring.
Prune your apple tree in late winter to remove any dead, dying, or crowded branches.
