Honeygold Apple Tree Malus pumila 'Honeygold'
Product Description
Sweet, High-Quality Apples, Ideal for Cool Climates
Delicious taste and hardy adaptability merge, making the Honeygold Apple Tree a must-have. This tough apple tree sails through sub-zero winters, and it boasts flavor that's sweeter than Golden Delicious. So, Honeygold is the hands-down choice for growing in cold climates and beyond.
Plant a Honeygold Apple tree, and you'll have a treasure-trove of benefits that keep coming all season long, starting with the springtime flowers and ending with the fall harvest. Plus, because the Honeygold is specifically adapted for cold climates, it still bears superior-tasting apples in chilly weather.
Even better? The apples are large, crisp, juicy, and flavorful. They're also uncommon in grocery stores, so you'll have to grow your own to discover this well-kept secret. Imagine walking outside and picking a snack fresh, or harvesting for applesauce, cobblers, and pies.
Though you'll need at least one other apple variety to pollinate the Honeygold (we recommend the Honeycrisp, McIntosh, or Granny Smith), the entire process couldn't be simpler. Especially since we're planted, grown and shipped our Honeygolds with care - they're specifically bred and meticulously monitored at our nursery to be a proven performer in your landscape.
So, a fresh, delicious harvest is just a click away. Order your Honeygold today!
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, back fill 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 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.

Planting Care for the Honeygold Apple Tree
Your Honeygold Apple needs lots of bright sunlight. Plant it in a spot that gets full sun (6-8 hours per day).
Water your Honeygold Apple regularly each week, more so during times of drought. When in doubt, check the soil 2-3 inches down and water when dry.
Use a fertilizer that's formulated for apple trees and follow all label directions, which typically require applications from spring through summer.
