I love these large, crisp apples! Gravensteins are a great all-purpose apple... snacking, baking, or desserts! You can harvest these pretty apples in late July.

No more trips to the supermarket to purchase apples that may be treated with harmful pesticides. Pick large, crisp and delicious apples grown organically right from your own Gravenstein Apple Tree!

These unique green and red marbled apples are known for versatility… eat them fresh, make them into applesauce, or bake them into your family's favorite desserts!

Because our fruit trees arrive to you already branched – they are not whips like you'll receive from most nurseries – you'll be able to start picking these tasty apples years earlier.

The Gravenstein blooms in mid spring and the apples ripen in late July. This tree is partial to full sun when possible, but is adaptable to various soil types and conditions.

Tolerates drought fairly well. The perfect apple tree for zones 4-9. Pair with the Gala or Red Delicious apple tree for best pollination.

This little known apple is one of the best tasting around. There is a serious effort underway to reclaim this lost treasure. click here to read more about it...

It's Easy to Plant your Dwarf Gravenstein Apple
	Step 1 - Dig Your Hole Select a site with full to partial sun and moist or well drained soil for your Dwarf Gravenstein Apple. If you're planting a hedge, mark out a visual guide by placing stakes five to six feet apart and looping string around them. Plant the trees where the stakes are and they'll grow together to make a dense privacy screen. First, dig each hole so that it is just shallower than the root ball and at least twice the width. Then loosen the soil in the planting hole so the roots can easily break through. Use your shovel or try dragging the points of a pitch fork along the sides and bottom of the hole.
	Step 2 - Place Your Tree Next, separate the roots of your Dwarf Gravenstein Apple gently with your fingers and position them downward in the hole. The top of the root flare, where the roots end and the trunk begins, should be about an inch above the surrounding soil. Then make sure the tree is exactly vertical in the hole. To make it just right, use a level.
	Step 3 - Backfill Your Hole As you backfill the hole, apply water to remove air pockets. Remove debris like stones and grass and completely break up any dirt clumps. Water your Dwarf Gravenstein Apple again after the transplant is complete. To help retain some of that moisture, it's recommended that you place mulch around each tree to a depth of 2"-3" up to but not touching the trunk. Organic mulches such as wood chips or pine needles also help to better soil structure as they decompose.
