CRIPPS PINK LADY APPLE TREE 7 GAL

The Cripps Pink Lady Apple tree is a stunning choice for gardeners in zones 7 and 8 who want a tree that offers year-round beauty and a harvest that stores better than almost any other. Reaching a mature height of 15 to 20 feet with a similar spread, it serves as a beautiful accent tree with its fragrant pale-pink blossoms in spring and vibrant orange-to-maroon fall foliage. You will love the crisp, sweet-tart fruit that ripens late in the season, typically by mid-November.

While the Pink Lady is vigorous and heat-tolerant, young trees are a favorite for deer and rabbits. I suggest using a sturdy trunk guard or wire fencing to protect the bark from nibbling pests. To ensure the best fruit color, plant your tree in a spot with at least six to eight hours of full sun.

When planting, blend Watters Premium Mulch with your garden's native soil to provide the drainage and aeration these roots need. Feed your tree with 7-4-4 All-Purpose Plant Food to support its long ripening period and ensure a bountiful crop.
