Feed before new spring growth appears. Thin heavy crops in early summer to prevent breakage or damage. Prune as needed to remove dead or damaged wood, or maintain smaller size.
History Harvest Gold® is notable for its excellent resistance to scab, rust and mildew, and its fair resistance to fire blight.
