Apply fertilizer in early spring. Prune as needed to remove dead wood and to maintain desired size and shape. Thin heavy crops in late spring to prevent damage from overbearing. |
| Lore | This tree is grafted with three varieties intended to extend the harvest season in today's smaller gardens: Honeycrisp with its large red, crisp, deliciously sweet fruit, well-suited for fresh eating and cooking, and equally suited for pressing for cider, ripening in September; and Gala, from New Zealand, has red-orange skin, very crisp white flesh with a tangy-sweet flavor, also ripening in September; and the popular Fuji with an exceptional, spicy, crisp sweetness, typically ripening in October. |
