I've read your posts Mark on the Dwaft Golden Dorsett and watched the video and your post on the Tropical Anna apple tree. Thought I'd start a new post so the ones I am looking at and the info are all in one post.
I'm looking at getting some apples trees, the 3 that came up on Daley's website as being suitable for sub-tropical climates were the Dwaft Golden Dorsett, The Dwaft Tropical Anna and the Tropical Sweet.
Few questions, have never grown an apple tree before so how hard as they to grow?
Do they need any special potting mix, fertiliser, type of soil Acidic, Neutral, Alkaline?
Any other special requirements?
I know they need other apples trees to propagate.
Have recently moved my citrus into the biggest plastic pots Bunnings sold, in time we plan to make some even bigger pots like 250L size to move them into. (cover this in another post)
Can apples also be grown in big pots?
Why did you choose the apple trees you did over the Tropical Sweet? I might even get all 3 as we like apples done in one way or another around here.
Any other suitable apples trees for the SEQ area?
Any other info from Mark or anyone else on growing apple trees would be greatly appreciated. Can't get them now as they are not in stock but doing my research so I am ready to go when they are
