#ProPlantTips For Care
Plant Espalier Edible Grafted Apple tree in full sun and well-drained loam where it gets great air circulation. Add Garden Center Point Root Booster while planting for a life-long symbiotic relationship with the tiny feeder roots.
Consistent access to moisture is necessary for fruit trees, especially young trees just getting established. This ensures the best harvest and juiciest crop possible! A generous layer of mulch helps retain soil moisture as well as insulate the root system from heat and chill.
Preferring well-drained soil that is never soggy is essential. For best results, fertilize your tree regularly with Dr. Earth Fruit Tree Fertilizer or a good organic, slow-release fertilizer. Add compost to your planting site to add higher organic matter to the soil.
