FAQs about Fortune apples
Although many people are familiar with Fortune apples and really enjoy their old-fashioned taste, it's true that commercially they haven't really been seen as a top choice. Many farmers and agriculturists believe their lack of popularity may be because they are biennial producers.
Biennial-bearing fruit trees mean that sometimes the tree bears a consistently heavy amount of fruit, while the following year, it could produce way less. In a sense, it's like the tree used all its energy up by producing the heavy amount of fruit that it is depleted the next year and needs to rest until the following year after that. This timeline obviously can be problematic for farmers and those in the agriculture industry.
Once your tree's roots are in the ground, and you're waiting for it to grow, hold off on fertilizing right away. Give the roots some time to do their job. Apple trees are usually only fertilized three times a year during the growing season.
As the tree begins to grow, make sure that you maintain the tree by trimming any diseased or damaged limbs that could make the tree bear ill fruit. This is sometimes referred to as pruning the trees, and people swear it is essential to overall health and fruit production.
