If you don’t have an apple tree in your garden, planting one is a good investment, for there is nothing like eating the fresh fruit straight from the tree in autumn. We have extensive advice on apple pruning. Timing and method of pruning depends on the type of apple you are growing. PruningĪpples should be pruned every year to get the best crop. Cookers are hungrier – scatter one and a half handfuls per square metre/yard around trees in bare soil, and two around those in grass. Scatter one handful per square metre/yard around trees growing in bare soil, and one and a half around those growing in grass. In early spring, feed with a high potassium general fertiliser, such as Vitax Q4. Large, established trees will be more resistant to periods of drought. The most effective method of doing this for rows of fruit trees is to place a drip line or seep hose under the trees. Water apples during dry spells and from when the fruit starts to swell, particularly if they are newly planted or in containers. Once established, apples require very little care throughout the year.
