Pollination Info
Winesap Apple Tree Pollination
Winesap Apple Trees are not self-fertile. You will need to plant two other varieties to achieve fruiting. Below are the most effective pollinators we have chosen for your area...
Planting & Care
1. Planting: For best results, find a location with well-drained soil and full sun - about 6 hours of sunlight per day. Once you've selected a location, dig a hole that's twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Then, place your tree, backfill and tamp down the soil, and water to settle the soil. Finally, mulch to retain moisture.
*Tip: Make sure your mulch is not touching the base of the trunk.
2. Watering: Your Winesap Apple will benefit from a regular watering each week, though you may have to water more during times of drought. If you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil down to a depth of about 2 or 3 inches - if it's dry here, it's time to water.
3. Pruning: Once your tree has become established and is starting to bear fruit, it will need some periodic, moderate pruning. Only prune the tree during times of dormancy, making sure to remove any vigorous, upright stems and weak, damaged or dead branches.

United StatesNice tree
Tree looks great and appears healthy. It did arrive with the top 8-10" of the tree broken, but I imagine this is shipping damage and unavoidable. Overall happy with the tree.

United StatesOur first trees from FGT.
The 2 (McIntosh & Winesap) came to us in fantastic condition. We had dug the holes for them & planted them in rich soil & watered them in. We then put mulch around the trees. So far so good. Very pleased. Will definitely buy from you again.
United StatesWinesap apple tree
So far ,excellent experience with fast growing trees. Now for my part in taking care of my Winesap, McIntosh(es),Granny Smith(s),and yellow/golden delicious trees, so far so good with the cold weather lately
United StatesBeautiful and Healthy trees
Ordered a 6-7 foot Winesap along with an additional pollinator tree. Both trees arrived quickly and in perfectly healthy condition. Instructions were included which made it vary easy to plant and care for. The rest is on me to make sure these take off. But so far so good! Will be ordering more in the future as I am transforming my back yard into my own produce section. Thanks for a great experience.
United StatesExcellent
These 3 trees arrived in great shape and have taken to the new surroundings quite well.
