What type of apple

Catherine Smith on Sep 07, 2013They look like the Gala Variety, which make wonderful pie apples and too die for homemade apple sauce and butter. Yummy~ The maturity time to produce fruit for a standard size apple tree is about right.Helpful Reply

GrandmaCarol Speight on Sep 09, 2013Bonnie..IF there is not a market close by..BUT..IF there is a quality garden centre near to you,(here the high end garden centres have very knowledgible staff),...they may be able to answer your inquiry too. It may be a good idea to stop by a garden centre anyway because IF you are getting fruit, the tree will need to be sprayed in order to continue producing quality harvest. AND google grafting...think you maybe surprised...it isn't really that hard.Helpful Reply

GrandmaCarol Speight on Sep 09, 2013Seems you have everything under control then (wondering to myself IF this Gal does the organic thingy which requires extra work, why does she not investigate grafting?...oh well)....lolol. Personally...I don't do organic. Haven't found anything we have bought over the years of making meals to have much in the way of the flavour/flavor department.

Catherine Smith on Sep 09, 2013I spray with Bt (Bacillus thuringiensis) it is an organic pesticide specific for worms. I also lightly pain the bottom of my trees in the spring with light grade horticultural oil, evidently they can't get traction(LOL, not sure why, but it works). And keep the area around the tree as weed free as possible.Helpful Reply
