I planted it in a pot in autumn 2022, and we enjoyed delicious apples in autumn 2023. Delighted with my purchase.

Value-for-money
A variety that adjusts its development to the size of its pot, while producing beautiful fruits from the first years of cultivation. Its lovely apples closely resemble those of the famous Golden Delicious apple tree, both in appearance and taste: light yellow when ripe, they have juicy, crunchy, and sweet flesh. They are harvested between September and October. This small tree also offers a pretty white-pink flowering in May. It can be grown in a pot, on a balcony or patio, as well as in a small garden.

Description

The Fruit Me Apple Me Yellow Golden Apple Tree is an interesting fruit tree for its compact size, perfectly suited for container cultivation. This doesn't prevent the plant from producing normal-sized apples, very comparable to Golden Delicious apples, and that, from the first years of cultivation. An excellent eating apple, this fruit is adorned with a golden yellow skin at ripeness, protecting a light yellow flesh that is juicy, crunchy, and sweet. They are harvested in late summer, starting from September. Self-fertile, this variety will produce even more fruit in the presence of a dwarf Fruit Me Apple Me Elstar apple tree, for example.

The apple tree, or Malus pumila var domestica Fruit Me Apple Me Yellow Golden, is part of a series of semi-dwarf fruit trees that are quite revolutionary, recently developed in Spain. All the fruit trees in this range are grafted with a special technique onto a next-generation rootstock that adapts to the available soil volume while allowing for quality fruiting from the first years of cultivation. The Fruit Me range fruit trees are also easy to grow, hardy, reliable, and less susceptible to diseases. All these fruit trees allow you to create a miniature orchard on your patio or balcony!

The Fruit Me Apple Me Yellow Golden apple tree will reach approximately 1.5 m (5ft) in height with a spread of 80 cm (32in) if grown in a pot. In the ground, its dimensions will be larger. It produces uniformly golden yellow-skinned, fairly large, round fruits. The pale yellow flesh is firm, fine, crunchy, fragrant, and balanced between sweetness and acidity. Flowering usually takes place in May, usually avoiding late frosts, and the fruits are harvested in mid-September, while still green. The apples can be stored in a cool place until January, although they tend to become slightly mealy. This apple tree is self-fertile, but the presence of another variety will increase its productivity.

In the kitchen: These apples are particularly suited for baking and eating fresh. They can, of course, be cooked, in compotes, jams, and in savoury dishes, paired with Normandy cheeses, for example.

Planting and care

Choose, for your Apple Me Golden apple tree, a large pot or container with holes at the bottom (minimum 40 cm (16in) in diameter and 50 cm (20in) deep) that you will fill with a mixture of compost and garden soil. Don't forget to place a layer of clay pellets or gravel at the bottom of the pot to allow excess water to drain. Water regularly and apply fruit tree fertilizer in spring.

If planting in the ground, choose a sunny location with slightly alkaline or acidic soil, but without excess. Dig a wide planting hole at least 3 times the size of the root ball. Simultaneously add organic matter (leaf compost...) and a slow-release fertilizer like crushed horn. Do not bury the graft union. Stake if necessary. Water thoroughly, even in winter or when it rains. Fruit trees are ideally planted between October and March, outside the freezing period. Container-grown plants can be planted year-round, except during periods of extreme heat or frost.

In winter, you can add a small handful of wood ash, which is rich in potash, to improve fruiting. Watch out for possible aphid attacks during the season. A white powdery mildew fungus may appear on the leaves in summer, but it does not harm fruit development in gardens. Harvest takes place in September. Only store picked fruits. Store apples with the stem pointing downwards on shelves or in crates. Choose a preferably completely dark, dry, and cool location, but frost-free.

Care

Pruning instructions The pruning of your dwarf apple tree can be limited to a simple thinning of dead or obstructive branches at the end of winter, in March. These apple trees do not require pruning, although you may choose to remove some vegetative buds to limit vertical growth, but they are not vigorous trees in any case. However, feel free to thin out fruit clusters in June. Removing some fruits relieves fragile branches and helps achieve a better size.
Pruning Pruning recommended once a year

Disease resistance Good
Overwinter Can be left in the ground
