How To Plant Idared Apple Bare Root
Idared is a very easy tree to keep happy - just provide a large, sunny area for it to grow tall and wide and most of the hard part is done. The soil should have good drainage, rich in nutrients, and preferably loamy for the best growth out of Idared. Get creative with your Idared and train it to an espalier shape or keep it well pruned to make harvesting the apples easier for all to reach. Idared is not self-pollinating and should have a pollinator tree nearby such as Granny Smith, Red Fuji, or Pink Lady/Cripps Pink.
How To Water
Water deeply, and regularly during its first few years in the ground. Irrigate weekly, and especially during prolonged dry spells or extreme heat after it’s established. It is essential to water your apple tree 2-3 times a week, applying the water slowly to go deeper to the root system.
