YATES APPLE<\/h3>\n

Yates apple is a heavy annually productive grafted apple tree, really yates is an applecrab. With its \u201cSouthern Roots\u201d, many people would think that the Yates apple isn\u2019t a good Northern apple. Yet, this tree is thriving well in temperatures down to -25 degrees, making this a solid apple tree into zone 4.<\/p>\n

Yates apple tree is a heavy annual producer with a great tasting 2” applecrab and is very resistant to common apple tree diseases. In a no spray situation yates has excellent resistance to apple scab, fireblight, powdery mildew and good resistance to cedar apple rust. This tree has a great drop time of October, November, and well into December depending on how far north you are planting. The farther you move this tree north the later it hangs. Yates Apple tree will reach a mature height of 20’+. Plant Hardiness zones 4-8<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n

The yates apple is made by using plant tissue from the original tree and attaching it to the new roots. This essentially is giving you an identical tree, of the one you see in the picture and description.<\/h5>\n

TREE SIZE FOR YATES APPLE<\/h3>\n

2-3′ ( 3\/8” dia.)<\/strong> These trees will have a good root system. They will be whips around 3′ high with a trunk diameter of 3\/8”.<\/p>\n

3-5′ ( 1\/2” dia.)<\/strong> These trees will have a good root system with some possible branching but will mainly be whips. They will range in height between 3′ to 5′ with a trunk diameter of around a 1\/2”.<\/p>\n

4-6′ (+ 1\/2” dia.)\u00a0<\/strong>These trees will have an extensive root system and typically having multiple branches but many will be solid whips. They will range in height between 4′ and 6′ with a trunk diameter of 1\/2” to 3\/4”.<\/p>\n

2-yr 4-6′ (5\/8”-3\/4” dia.) <\/strong>These two-year-old trees will have an extensive root system and can have multiple branches with a diameter of 5\/8” and greater. We will be pruning the trees back to a shipping height of 66” with the roots. Our largest box is 66″x 14″x 15″ and will hold 15 of the 2-yr trees. Free local pick-up is open to the surrounding states of Pennsylvania.<\/p>\n

STANDARD ROOTSTOCK<\/h3>\n

Yates Apple is grafted to a standard root that is extremely cold, hardy, and vigorous. This Rootstock is an excellent choice for wildlife trees because it produces a full-size 20\u2019 to 30\u2019 tree. Producing a full-size tree for wildlife means much more fruit on a given tree. This rootstock will develop deep ”Real roots” making it exceptionally well anchored, penetrating well into the subsoil, pulling up lost nutrients, and making it very drought tolerant. This root is a great all-around rootstock for wildlife plantings.<\/p>\n

This standard-size rootstock is adaptable to many soil types and conditions, especially when planted in less desirable locations. Therefore, with its full vigor, can be used in areas that were once wooded and are now food plots, reclaimed land, shale mountain soil, dryer uplands, and ridges. This standard rootstock will also perform well in improved soil in an orchard-style setting. We are only grafting onto the most vigorous roots in a given year. When grafting onto the top 30% of seedlings, you get a rootstock about 40% more vigorous tree than many clonal stocks used for wildlife trees today. Yates Apple is very precocious, with many trees producing very quickly anon this standard root making it an all-around excellent rootstock for wildlife plantings.<\/p>\n

PLANTING INSTRUCTIONS FOR YATES APPLE<\/h3>\n

Plant at least one different apple or crabapple variety within close proximity to Yates Apple tree for pollination. Grams Gift crabapple, Centennial crabapple GoldRush or Enterprise apple will make excellent pollinator for Yates Apple. Plant your Yates apple tree in moist, well drained soil with a soil pH between 5.8 \u2013 7 with adequate nutrient levels for optimal growth.<\/p>\n

If you have not completed a soil test click here<\/a> <\/strong><\/span>and improved your soil I would highly recommend doing so. However, if you are not going to I would recommend mixing 1 ounce for every 3 sq ft of 0-20-20 granular fertilizer in your soil at the time of planting. The first number tells you percentage of nitrogen contained in the fertilizer. Nitrogen applied directly to the roots of the tree will cause death to your tree, make sure the first number is zero.<\/p>\n

Nitrogen is very mobile in the soil and You can apply a small amount of Nitrogen the following year as needed. The 2nd and 3rd numbers are Phosphorus and Potassium. Apply these two nutrients at or well before the time of planting, because they are basically immobile in the soil, they will need mixed in through the soil. We recommend completing a soil test and making amendments for best results.<\/p>\n

Yates Apple requires a minimum of 6 hours of sunlight for growth and fruit production. Space trees 20′ apart and use cages of at least 5\u2019 to protect your trees. This will ensure your deer eat your fruit in a few years and not your trees this year.<\/p>\n
