Sow and Plant
Plant in mid-fall or early winter when it's not too cold for a little root growth to help them establish. Should be planted with at least one other apple tree which flowers at a similar time to aid pollination.
Our Garden Planning Tool can produce a personalized calendar of when to sow, plant and harvest for your area.

Notes
Prune towards the end of the season to remove any dead or overcrowded branches and to shape if required.
|

Harvest when apples are ripe.
