Planting:  \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eYour apple tree will require full sunlight, receiving around 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. Apple trees tolerate most soil but prefer well-draining and loamy soil. Allow sufficient space for the top of the tree and the root system when planting. After planting, add a layer of mulch to conserve moisture, ensuring it doesn’t touch the base of the trunk.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eIf planting in a container, use a container with drainage holes that is roughly twice the size of the tree’s root ball. Use potting soil and water deeply to settle in the roots after planting.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e2.

Once established, the tree will require very little supplemental watering. Water during periods of drought.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Pruning:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eOnce your tree begins to bear fruit, it will require some light pruning to maintain shape. Only prune during the dormant season, removing any weak and vigorous, upright stems.\u003c\/span\u003e branches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Fertilizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eUse an apple-specific fertilizer. Follow the instructions on the label, generally applying the fertilizer from April to August.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Pollinator Info: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eLike all apples, there needs to be another apple tree nearby to cross-pollinate with one another; Tasty Red, Blushing Delight, Sweet Tart, and Tangy Green are all great varieties to pollinate this tree with. Bees are traditionally the main pollinator for apple trees.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1-2 ft","offer_id":48860194767018,"sku":"30290","price":16.34,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3-4 ft.","offer_id":48860194799786,"sku":"17865","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"4-5 ft.","offer_id":48860194832554,"sku":"20245","price":28.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 ft.","offer_id":48860194865322,"sku":"17937","price":23.84,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/jwk1701livq3_cf6126bc-4776-4354-a8cd-2df00473427f.jpg?v=1784865107","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/fruit-snacks-golden-treattm-columnar-apple-tree-4l5o64","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
