- Fertility :
- Generally, apple trees are self-sterile. You need two apple trees of different varieties to ensure pollination. Apple trees are compatible within the same type. As all varieties of cultivated apple trees belong to the species Malus domestica, they can therefore pollinate each other. We advise you to have 2 apple trees in your yard, or to check if there are any nearby, if you want to be able to harvest apples.
- Common problems (disease, fungus, insects) :
- Excellent resistance to rust and powdery mildew; Good resistance to scab and fireblight.
- Special comments :
- Very hardy tree; In spring, the elimination of shoots (the stems and leaves that develop on the trunk) favors its production and allows to keep its ornamental aspect. Water well at planting and regularly during dry spells in the early years.
