When do fuji apple trees bloom

Around that same window will be plum trees late April to mid-May. Plum cordial, anyone? Apples bloom early to late May but they can also make an appearance in late April. Like cherries, bloom time can vary by days depending on the varietal. You might see plenty of blossoms on an apple tree, but they need a little encouragement to pollenate.

As you pass by or through a spring orchard, take a moment to think about the work these trees do to bring us their delicious fruits. I have differetn types of Pear, Peach, Apple, Etc…some have bloomed leaves others have not. So my question is, will two different Pear Trees bloom leaves at different times? Hi Michael. Thanks for your question. What can I do to get some fruit!! I have been patient and really want to bake some apple pies :.

Fuji is notorious for taking a long time to bear, but is very reliable once it starts and self-fertile. It sounds like you may have a very vigorous rootstock, in which case it may take a year or two more; folks get impatient and tear out their Fuji right when it is getting ready to bear tons of wonderful apples. I'm afraid you may be disappointed with the pies; Fuji is one of the best in the world for fresh-eating, but lacks zip for baking.

My current Fuji planting on M26 rootstock fruited heavily the 2nd yr. It has set a heavy crop every yr since. Every yr I spend hrs thinning. So I can only suggest a precocious rootstock if you plant another apple. POLL: Do you have fruit trees? What kind of fruiting trees do you have? Would trimming it back help at all? It does get a lot of water in the summer so I will cut back on that. Bummer about fruit pies!

What is a good apple for fruit pies? Thanks for the replies. This past winter I ordered a bareroot Fuji and a Goldrush apple trees; one of them from Gurney's, and the other from Wayside Gardens. The Fuji which Gurneys's shipped me in Late Feb of this year, was large enough for me to pot it up in a 10 or 15 gallon size pot.

This Fuji apple tree is on dwarf root stock and should not grow more tall than feet, if let to grow without my pruning out the leader. Last month the tree produced what, if left to grow, would be lots of apples, but I removed most of them so the tree can put its energy into developing a better root ball and to develop better side branch structure. The Goldrush is on Semi-Dwarf root stock and would grow from 15 to 20 feet tall, if it is not pruned to prevent it from growing so tall.

I purchased both of these apple trees, because Fuji and Goldrush are reported to bloom about the same time. I wanted both, so they could each help increase their individual harvest yield, once they matured enough for both to be producing fruit.

My semi-dwarf, GoldRush apple is nearly the same size as the Dwarf Fuji, but the Goldrush is not yet mature enough to produce flowers and fruit. But tops for both eating and baking might be Rubinette.

Tear out all that silly lawn and plant apple trees instead. Erin, I know this is a late response but I just read the thread. I've always been told to use tart apples in apple pies so that's what I did. But a friend of mine who has a fuji tree said she loves them in her pies.

We made one with her apples and it was so delicious I haven't made an apple pie with anything but fujis since. They were plenty crisp enough and the sweet flavor was amazing! Best wishes on your pie making! Fuji in pies?

Perhaps for people who are into the low-acid affect. I like the complexity of a good acid to sugar balance, to me Fuji's are bland as cookers although I like a few off the tree and out of storage. You just have to figure out what you like and ignore people's advice that have a differnt point of reference taste-wise.

Cookers usually are pretty acidic so I have to assume a lot of people share my taste. Fuji's are somewhat bienniel here in the northeast Z 6. The season isn't long enough for recharge after harvest. Fuji is notorious for its excessively vegetative growth habit on rootstocks less dwarfing than M Commercial growers often score the trees early in the season with a sharp saw.

This is girdling a tree by cutting a thin as possbible circle about inch deep or less at the base of the tree through the cambium only. The wound heals and the tree tends to fruit the following season. It is crisp and sweet, great for fresh eating. It does not color well but the quality is superb. Ripens in October. It can be eaten raw, frozen, baked, or cooked as most any fruit can be.

Dimensions: Height: 8 ft. Width: 8 ft. To ensure your "Fuji" apple tree becomes pollinated and sets fruit, you'll need another apple tree to cross pollinate it. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zones 4 through 9.

During apple tree pollination, the pollen from one flower is delivered to the ovary of another flower. This pollinated ovary then develops into an apple. A handful of apple trees are self-fertile, meaning the flowers on the same tree can pollinate one another. Cross-pollination is necessary because the male and female parts of the "Fuji" apple blossoms mature at different times.
