Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant your Tasty Red™ Apple tree in well-draining soil in a location that receives full sunlight. Ensure proper spacing, and water consistently during the growing season for a healthy and bountiful harvest.
2. Watering: Water apple trees deeply and regularly, especially during dry spells, ensuring that the soil remains consistently moist but not waterlogged. Mulch around the base to retain moisture and promote optimal growth.
3. Pruning: Once your tree has become established and is starting to bear fruit, it will need some periodic, moderate pruning. Only prune the tree during times of dormancy, making sure to remove any vigorous, upright stems and weak, damaged or dead branches.
4. Fertilizing: Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer according to package instructions. Repeat the application in late spring or early summer to support healthy growth.
