Apple "Early Red" 10L

Apples remain one of the most popular fruits in the world and are rewarding to have growing in your garden.

The Early Red Apple tree produces large fruits that are really sweet and delicious with deep-red skin and a crispy texture.

Early red starts flowering around mid October and ready to harvest towards the end of February. It is a medium chill variety, requiring cold during winter to go dormant.

Apple trees are not self-fertile requiring a second variety to cross pollinate it in order to bear fruit. Golden delicious or Granny Smith will do the job.

Position – Plant your apple tree in full sun for the best fruit yield. They can tolerate some shade, but you’re likely to get fewer fruits from them.

Size – Apple trees can grow to 12 metres tall and 9 to 12 metres wide when mature. But, it’s best to prune them yearly once mature to remain at about 6 metres. Ensure that you plant the tree away from external walls, electrical lines and other trees.

Soil Type – Apple trees are not fussy about soil type, but do prefer slightly acidic soil. The only requirement is that the soil drains well.
