Care Guide
- Plant in full sun or partial shade.
- Low maintenance. Water thoroughly if potted or when the ground is dry.
- Apply a general purpose fertiliser in early spring, and mulch well in the autumn.
- In June, many apple trees naturally shed some fruit ('June-drop'). If your tree still looks like it will produce a lot of fruit, you can thin each group by first removing the central ('king') apple then reducing to two healthy fruits, one on either side of the cluster.
