Ambrosia Apple Tree

Introduced: 1987, British Columbia

This chance seedling is refreshingly sweet and juicy with little acidity. Reminiscent of its believed-to-be parent, Golden Delicious, this apple has a honey-sweet flavor and notes of pear. Perfect for fresh eating. They’re also slow to brown when cut, making them a good choice for fresh preparations. The tree is highly-productive and disease-resistant.

Apple Tree Notes:

Plant where trees will get sun for most of the day in a well drained soil. Dig a hole large enough to accommodate the roots, don’t add fertilizers or compost when filling the hole, save those for a top-dressing once the tree leafs out. Always protect your new trees with a “mouse guard” either a wrap from a garden center or a tube made from hardware cloth. Apple trees set better crops when at least two different varieties are planted for cross pollination.

PICK TREES THAT BLOOM AT THE SAME TIME FOR PROPER POLLINATION AND FRUITING!
