Apple : CARROLL Dwarf (B10)

$53.95

In stock

Carroll has quickly become one of our family's early season favourites. While similar to it's Melba parent in ripening time and flavour, Carroll is a dependable annual producer and much less susceptible to scab. We love this large, crisp apple for eating right off the tree, but in either sauce or pies it is also worth raving about. It even excels in salads, as it is slow to turn brown when sliced. The Morden Research Station in Manitoba released this selection in 1961, so cold-hardiness is a given. Stores for nearly two months.

NEEDS A POLLENIZER | ZONE 3 | HARVEST : MID-LATE AUG

Product Overview
Apple (Malus) One of the most challenging fruits to grow organically, but take heart! Choosing one of our scab resistant varieties is a good start. With the vast array of flavours available (even for colder regions) in this healthy, versatile fruit, it would be a shame not to try a few trees. Natural pest control with insect traps and kaolin clay sprays can be used if desired. However, apples that are less than picture perfect are still just as flavourful and nutritious. Even with insect damaged fruit all is not lost. Drying, juicing or making apple sauce are still great options. Remember the old adage ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’ was coined before the days of pesticide sprays. 1-2m (3-6') bareroot trees

Growing Tips

Apple Growing Tip

Besides selecting the most disease resistant varieties, there are
a few simple things to do to have better apples.

  • Fertilize under the outer edges of your trees. There are no feeder roots next to the trunk. A well fed tree stays healthier. (Adequate calcium in the soil also helps so that apples keep longer.)
  • Pick up fallen fruit and compost, dispose of, or feed to livestock (where possible).
  • Rake up leaves in the fall and compost them away from the orchard.
  • Prune trees to encourage light and air to reach the inside of the tree.
  • Provide bird nesting sites near your orchard. A variety of orchard companion type plants will attract native pollinator insects and also encourage birds to come and eat insect pests.
