How to take care of Standard Apple Malus Red Boskoop
Malus Rode Boskoop P20 Apple trees should preferably be planted in neutral, well-drained soil, newly planted trees need to be well watered for the first few days. Keep the area around the base of the tree free of weeds so that the weeds do not deplete all the basic nutrients needed for the growth of the tree. Support young trees with a stake in windy areas when the trees are of medium size. Once the tree is confirmed, cut the fruit if the crop is too heavy. Preferably wait until the tree has lost some fruit itself in midsummer. Remove any small fruits less than 10-15cm in diameter or poorly formed fruits between the remaining apples to give them space. Check regularly for signs of disease. Remove any damaged fruit immediately, and damaged leaves and branches should also be removed to allow light and air to pass through the tree. Regularly remove fallen leaves and fruit around the base of the tree to prevent disease. Mould on the leaves may indicate lack of watering. Every April apply a layer of well decomposed manure or compost around the base of the tree but do not put it on the trunk as this may burn the bark. Remove any unwanted branches during the winter. Note: Apple trees belonging to group D in the pollinator classification can be used to pollinate other trees and thus mix other varieties.
