Apple Trees - Suncrisp

Directions for Planting and Care

Planting and caring for your Apple Trees - Suncrisp is simple, allowing you to enjoy delicious, crisp apples with a unique flavor profile.

Planting

Select the Right Location: Choose a sunny location with full sun exposure. Suncrisp apple trees thrive in well-drained soil, and it’s essential to avoid areas prone to russeting.

Prepare the Soil: Ensure the soil is well-draining and rich in organic matter. If you have clay-like or heavy soil, amend it with compost to improve drainage and nutrient retention.

Dig a Proper Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and the same depth. This will allow the roots plenty of room to spread and establish themselves.

Plant the Tree: Remove the tree gently from its container and place it in the center of the hole. Backfill with the soil and tamp it down lightly to eliminate any air pockets, ensuring the root system is level with the surrounding ground.

Water Thoroughly: After planting, water deeply to settle the soil and provide necessary moisture for the roots.

Care

Regular Watering: Water the tree regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Ensure the soil is well-drained to avoid standing water, which can lead to root rot.

Pruning: Prune your Suncrisp apple tree in late winter while it is dormant to remove any dead or damaged wood. During the growing season, prune lightly to maintain the tree's shape and encourage better fruit production.

Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in early spring to support healthy growth and fruit production. Avoid excessive nitrogen, as it may result in excessive foliage growth at the cost of fruit yield.

Pollination: Suncrisp apple trees require a pollinator for fruit production. Choose compatible apple varieties such as Golden Delicious or Gala to ensure a successful harvest.
