So a few days ago I planted two apple trees in my new yard, a red delicious semi-dwarf and a gala dwarf.
Here's pictures:
the first two are the red delicious, second two are the gala.
They are newly in the ground and it is late in the season. We must be coming up on average first frost date (although currently 42 is the lowest temp in the 10 day forecast). I'm thinking that means I shouldn't do anything to them now, except maybe mulch well? No pruning?
All these years of gardening and I have never grown a fruit tree! Never had the space before. In the spring we will add two peach trees....
