Malus 'Honeycrisp'

Plant apple trees in full sun, in an area sheltered from cold winds and away from low-lying frost pockets. The best soils are neutral to slightly acidic, moist, but well drained. To produce fruit, apple flowers must be cross-pollinated from a different variety of apple tree. Plant at least two varieties that flower at the same time in your area. Prune apples to maximize light and air penetration into the tree. The best time to prune is in winter or early spring when the tree is still dormant. Protect your apple tree from over wintering insects by applying a dormant oil-lime sulphur spray in the dormant season. Apply a fruit tree and berry food in the early spring before growth starts.
