Apple - Multi Budded Fruit Tree

  --Variety Info--  Multi Budded Apple Fruit- Variety Information Possible Varieties: Fuji, Gala, Braeburn, Gravenstein, Honeycrisp. Send us an email if there is 1 particular variety you would like and we will do our best to accommodate you. Multiple-budded ("Multi-budded") fruit trees will give you 3 or more varieties of apples from the space of a single tree. Compared to single-variety fruit trees, multiple-budded apple trees require some special consideration, especially with regard to pruning. Always plant the smallest limb (the "weakest" bud) to the south/southwest to ensure that it gets plenty of sunlight. Cut back the strongest growing varieties by 2/3rds. Cut back the weakest variety by 1/2 — or not at all. Do not let one variety take over - or one or more of the others may fail. Prune back the more aggressive limbs.  After the third season, maintain the multiple-budded apple tree so that each fruit type grows in balance with the others. USDA Zone 6-10, Requires 500-800 chill
