  • Just received my bare root dwarf apple trees. No directions. What do I do first? Can't find anything on website. Do I put these in bucket of water for a day or so? Can these dwarf trees be planted in pots? What kind of soil? How far apart from each other for pollinating? Please help!!!!

Just planted 11 of the 18 trees from raintree. All, including Melrose apple were in beautiful shape. I look forward to the progress over the next few years.

Reliable Producer with Good Flavor

I've had the Mini-Dwarf Melrose for 10 years. My tree is about 4 feet tall. It produces close to 150 medium-size, great-tasting apples per year even without a pollinizer. (I had a Honeycrisp, but it snapped during a storm 2 years ago.) I bag the apples with organza bags and do not use chemicals or fertilizer other than grass clippings. There have been absolutely no disease problems.
