Plant Care Instructions

1. Location and Sunlight: Plant Apple Jeromine trees in well-draining soil, preferably in a location with full sunlight or at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily. Adequate sunlight is essential for fruit production.
2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Deep watering is crucial, ensuring that the root zone is adequately hydrated. However, avoid waterlogged conditions.
3. Pruning: Prune Apple Jeromine trees annually during the dormant season to shape the canopy, remove dead or overcrowded branches, and promote air circulation. This aids in fruit development and tree health.
4. Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer in the spring when new growth emerges. Follow package instructions for the correct dosage. A second application in late spring or early summer can be beneficial.
5. Mulching: Utilize a 2-4 inch layer of organic mulch, such as compost or wood chips, around the base of the tree. Mulch helps conserve soil moisture, suppress weed growth, and maintain even soil temperature.
6. Pest and Disease Control: Regularly monitor for common apple pests like aphids, codling moths, and apple maggots. Utilize organic or chemical insecticides as needed.
   Protect against apple diseases like apple scab and powdery mildew through good air circulation, proper pruning practices, and applying suitable fungicides when necessary.
7. Harvesting: Apple Jeromine fruits are ready for harvest when they have reached their full color and are easily twisted or cut from the tree. Harvest at the peak of ripeness for the best flavor..
8. Winter Protection: In regions with harsh winters, protect Apple Jeromine trees from frost and cold temperatures by covering them with frost blankets or burlap. Wrapping the trunk can also help insulate the tree during winter.
