Dwarf Apple - Dorsett Golden (Grafted) 10/10DesKing1's Edible FruitsUpdate: 2293 days 19hrs Comments: - I love apples, but I'm sick of the tasteless ones sold in supermarkets, so three trees should keep us going for hopefully nearly six months of the year. Bought from Daleys and planted mid Nov 2017 (Gold Coast) in a garden bed next to a dwarf tropical anna (left) and dwarf tropic sweet (centre). These three form a triple planting about 45cm apart under the Dave Wilson Nursery backyard orchard concept. The entire bed has a thick layer of cane mulch. At present (Jan 2018) they are about 90cm tall, and will be pruned regularly so they grow no taller than 150-180cm. I fertilise with varying ratios and amounts of Dynamic Lifter or Rooster Booster, sulphate of potash, and blood and bone at the beginning of spring, summer and autumn. I also give fortnightly foliar sprays of a diluted solution of Seasol, Powerfeed for flowers and fruit, soluble sulphate of potash, and Epsom salts during the non-dormant months. I use a soil moisture meter, and water the trees as necessary. All three apple trees are very healthy and growing vigorously, and the grafts are very strong. Planted: 2017 Height 90 Centimetres Growing: In the Ground Sun/Shade: Full Sun Pollination: Cross Pollination Cross Pollinator Variety: Dwarf tropic sweet and dwarf tropical anna Pest Control: Occasional Eco-Neem spray, and copper spray during dormancy. When fruiting the fruit will be bagged against fruit fly. Organic Status:Partially Organic Was this review helpful?

Apple - Dorsett Golden (Grafted) 10/10Bloodanddreams 's Edible FruitsUpdate: 2620 days 14hrs Comments: - This is simply a fantastic tree. Very easy going, bearing enthusiastically even when not flowering in tandem with any of it's neighbours. Have an Anna, Tropic Sweet, Tropic Beauty, Ein Shemer, Ellisons Orange and Wild Granny (Diggers), but this tree really shines. Has had fruit for 2 seasons now, although the birds got to them the first year - they were my first ever apples and earlier than I expected (November), but mid January in 2017. Still getting to know it, but I am a big, big fan. Gorgeous looking fruit that can be enjoyed crisp, or softer. (I gave one to my neighbour who said it was the first apple she had eaten in years due to her teeth). Would seriously recommend this to anyone with a non traditional apple climate. I am already looking forward to next year. Neighbouring trees growing, but do not flower simultaneously. Perhaps when they have a few more years on them, meanwhile I have this golden beauty.

Dwarf Apple - Dorsett Golden (Grafted) 5/10Apparro's Edible FruitsUpdate: 3437 days 13hrs Comments: - Review for Sundowner Apple. Double grafted dwarf apple tree. That double graft is rather gnarly looking but it seems to be doing a good job restricting its growth. It has managed to flower and fruit with the aid of my granny smith tree. I picked off all fruit and flowers earlier today (late Nov). Still flowering now when Granny Smith has finished however there is sufficient overlap. Problems I've had are upturned leaf curl and it slow growth. However that may be due to the potting mix I used which may not be free draining enough. Currently in 45cm pot and I plan to soon repot it into a half wine barrel. Sprayed with Burgandy mixture in late winter and it had reduced leafcurl somewhat.
