You’ll create an amazing garden feature. There is something very appealing about seeing a neatly tended row of productive Apple trees.
It’s beautiful dressed in fragrant white spring blooms. The fruit display is very ornamental, as well.
Choose how tall you’ll let the trees become. Allow them to reach their mature height and spread. Or, keep your trees tightly pruned with summer pruning for size control.
Bigger trees produce more fruit, but smaller trees mean an easier harvest. GoldRush handles pruning without complaint. Your Edible Landscape, your choice!
#ProPlantTips for Care
GoldRush Apple trees require full sun for best fruiting. Give them at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day. Even though this is a disease-resistant variety, a planting site that receives morning sun is best. The strength of the early sun will quickly dry the foliage from any overnight dew.
Fruit trees need well-drained soil that sheds water quickly after a rain event. If you have poor drainage, build a raised bed to elevate your tree.
Don’t plant your tree too close to structures. Apples need good air circulation to help keep them clean and disease free.
Prune in late winter, before the new growth begins. Your goal when pruning is to open up the canopy to sunlight and air flow. Remove crossing or dead branches.
Tasty GoldRush Apple is highly sought after. People appreciate its productivity and the long-keeping time. Please hurry to place your order today!
