Why Choose Jonagold?

Growing Guide

• Planting Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Jonagold apple trees thrive best in full sun but can tolerate partial shade.
• Soil Preferences: Prefers neutral to slightly acidic soil (pH 6.0–7.0). Add compost or well-rotted manure at planting for best results.
• Mature Size: As a low stem tree, expect compact growth—ideal for smaller gardens or patio containers.
• Hardiness: Hardy throughout the UK (USDA zones 5–9).

Planting & Care Tips

• When to Plant: Best planted from late autumn to early spring while dormant.
• Irrigation: Water regularly during dry spells in the first year; established trees require less frequent watering.
• Pruning: Prune annually in late winter to early spring to maintain shape and encourage productive growth.
• Pest & Disease Resistance: Monitor for common apple pests; good airflow reduces risk of fungal diseases.

Design & Companion Planting Ideas

• Add underplanting of spring bulbs (like crocus or daffodils) for seasonal colour beneath the tree canopy.
• Pair with other fruit trees such as pear or plum for a productive orchard corner.
• Makes an attractive feature tree in lawns, borders, or large patio pots.
