Interesting Notes:
GROWN SAFE™ For your safety and peace of mind, we give you our word that for at least the past twelve months the only pest controls used on our fruit and berries are those listed by the Organic Materials Review Institute (OMR) for organic fruit and berry production.
Fruit trees are no longer just for the orchard, consider incorporating them in your landscape. Not only do you have a flowering tree in the spring but the benefit of home grown fruit in late summer and fall.
Fuji Apple Growing and Maintenance Tips
Fertilize in spring with an all-purpose fertilizer before new growth begins. Will cross pollinate with the varieties we offer. To prune an apple tree, start by removing dead, diseased, and broken branches. Then, thin out the canopy by removing downward-growing branches, crossing or rubbing branches, and vigorous upright shoots called "water sprouts". Always make cuts to the branch collar and avoid removing more than one-third of the tree’s canopy in a single pruning session to prevent shocking the tree.
