Because it is meant to cross pollinate my Pinkabelle so it's gotta be good! :)
Not doing anything I have to say...had one blossom then nothing. Hmmm..maybe things will liven up next year? Can only hope! Maybe I bought it a bit late in the year?

I am espaliering this tree with 2 other apples- Anna And Golden Dorset in a candelabra shape. This is the first year fruiting - I've had about 10 small apples, very sweet and crisp but don't seem to keep well in the fridge- they become floury.  Fruit fly has been an issue so I will need to take treatment next year.   Spring 2011 - this year more fruit set on all 3 apples. I have thinned some. Growth has reached to top of the fence so will prune in mid summer to reduce growth.

I didn't think we could grow apples in Sydney; now I might give it a try

How many plants are required to get fruit? Thanks

2 they need a cross pollinator so you must ensure you have the right variety to cross pollinate.

Want to be the first of our friends to grow an apple tree in Cairns!!

I have been told there is an apple orchard of some 200 of these North of Port Douglas... so I am keen to try this out!

Newly planted in Semi shaded position/ more sun but sheltered while young from hot afternoon sun. Prepared base with a mixure of sand, quincan, potting mix, and compost.  Going by the theory of needing loads of drainage in the wet season but also many plants doesn't really like our hot "full sun", so filtered sun would be better especially while young.

We have chooks that free range under also. loads of free fertiliser :)

has flowered each year but pinkabelle I had died during winter so granny did not have a pollinator.  A new apple tree has sprung up where the pinkabelle was - hopefully another pinkabelle but did not flower this year (it's first year), but for some reason the granny smith did and some flowers have turned into fruit???  A neighbour must have a pollinator for it?? Fruit ended up falling off ):

Just repotted into a larger pot and straightened it up, have a good feeling about this year.

Flowered beautifully but not one translated into a fruit.  Seems my pinkabelle and granny smith don't like to flower at the same time even though they should.
