Winesap 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.
