Apple Trees - Gravenstein Apple
Malus domesticaUSDA Hardiness Zones: 2-8.
Description
The Gravenstein apple has a crisp and juicy texture and a flavor that is aromatic and full of old-fashioned, sweet and tart flavor. It ripens in late July—making it one of the first apples in North America ready for market. It produces a squat, irregularly shaped apple with a very short stem that comes in a variety of colors; it usually has a greenish yellow background covered with broad red stripes. The Gravenstein is known for its all-purpose versatility as a terrific eating, sauce and pie apple. It requires 700 chill hours. Gala, Fuji, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious and Granny Smith are good pollinators.

STEP 2) Once you've located the perfect spot, the hole you are digging must be at least double the width and as deep as the root system you are planting.
STEP 3) Remove the plant from the pot and place the root ball in the hole. The top of the root system should be level with the ground. Before placing the tree or shrub in the hole, use your hands to gently break up the root system.
STEP 4) Once the plant is in place, backfill the hole with native soil and any leftover potting material.
STEP 5) Pack down the soil to eliminate any air pockets.
STEP 6) When finished, water thoroughly.
