Apple Red (Grafted) - HRNM 99

About Apple Red (Grafted) - HRNM 99

Apple is a deciduous tree in the rose family, best known for its sweet fruit and grown worldwide. This grafted HRNM 99 variety has alternate, dark green, serrated leaves and is propagated by grafting for reliable fruiting.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil.
• Climate: Suitable in areas with temperatures below 35°C. Apple is naturally a temperate-climate tree that needs a certain number of winter chill hours to flower and fruit well — many apple varieties struggle to fruit reliably in warm tropical or subtropical parts of India without adequate chill hours, so results will vary strongly by region.

Planting & Spacing

Can be grown in a large pot on a terrace or planted in the ground with adequate spacing for a full-size deciduous tree.

Care

• Watering: Regular watering, more during fruit development, reduced in the dormant/winter period.
• Fertilizer: Balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season.
• Pruning: Annual dormant-season pruning to shape the tree and improve air circulation.

Fruiting & Harvest

Grafted apple plants like this one typically begin fruiting in about 2-3 years, faster than an ungrafted seedling. Harvest when fruit reaches full colour and separates easily from the branch.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Apple seeds contain trace amounts of a cyanide-producing compound and shouldn't be eaten in quantity - the flesh itself is completely safe and healthy.
