MAINTENANCE NEEDS: High Maintenance. Water Regularly. Potential issues include apple scab, cedar apple rust, fire blight, leaf spot and and powdery mildew. Possible pests are aphids, maggots, boreres, and spider mites. Most commercially available Apples are grafted onto their rootstock, resulting in dwarf (8-10ft), Semi-dwarf (12-15ft) or standard tree heights all with full sized fruits. Ask the provider the rootstock classification for estimated size. Dwarf stock is easier to maintain and produces fruit at an earlier age.
