Malus Honeycrisp Apple Tree
Enjoy remarkably crisp, juicy apples with the highly desirable Honeycrisp Apple Tree, Malus domestica. In spring masses of sweetly scented white flowers attract pollinators. Fall brings the bounty that everyone wants – large delicious apples that can be stored for up to 7 months! Honeycrisp apples are perfect for snacking, baking, used in salads or other savory dishes – it’s truly the most versatile apple! Honeycrisp is a midseason blooming Apple Tree which will cross pollinate with other trees that bloom midseason like Pink Lady.
Plant Apples Trees in full sun locations in fertile well-drained areas. Make sure soil is well-amended with compost, especially with clay soils. Apples require cross pollination of a different variety for best fruit production. Be sure to partner trees that bloom at the same time. Trees should be planted within about 50′ of each other, but the closer the trees the better. Plant pollinator attracting flowers in the area to attract more pollinators to the trees. Good choices that bloom at similar times are False Indigo, Salvia, Bearded Iris, Candy Tuft, Creeping Phlox, Lenten Rose, Lung Wort and Columbine.
Apple trees benefit from regular pruning. Prune in late winter before plants begin to grow but after most sever cold is over. Flower buds will already be set so be sure to prune around them.
7 gallon pot, about 5′ tall.
