Half-stem blood apple tree (Malus niedzwetskyana 'Pink Pearl') - 2 liter pot

Pink Pearl produces an apple with pink flesh. The apples are medium-sized and conical, with thin, translucent yellow-green skin. The flavor is both tart and sweet. The apples ripen in late summer to early autumn. This variety is not self-pollinating and therefore requires another apple for cross-pollination. This semi-standard apple tree grows to a height of 4-6 meters and prefers a sunny location.

What is a half-stem tree?
A half-standard tree has a trunk height of approximately 120–150 cm before the crown begins. This makes it a good middle ground between a standard and a standard tree: large enough to mow or walk under, yet compact and easily accessible for maintenance and harvesting.

Tips and care:

• Planting: Because the trees are delivered in pots, they can be planted year-round. It's best to plant in the fall, when the soil is still warm and moist, allowing the trees to take root well. Plants planted in the fall have a more developed root system than those planted in the spring.
• Organic/non-organic: This plant material comes from a small-scale grower without an official organic certificate. But don't worry, we're certain it's pesticide-free.
• Support: Support with a stake during the first year. Half-standard trees are easy to harvest and remain compact and manageable.
