FAQs
Can I keep this tree in a pot permanently?
Yes, but ensure you use a large, heavy-duty pot and refresh the top layer of soil annually.
Is this tree self-fertile?
The Grenadier is partially self-fertile, but it will produce a much larger crop if planted near another apple variety that flowers at the same time.
When is the best time to plant?
While these can be planted year-round, autumn or early spring are ideal to allow roots to establish before temperature extremes.
How much should I water the tree?
Water thoroughly once a week, increasing frequency during hot summer months to ensure the root ball remains moist.
Does it need protection from frost?
As a fully hardy variety, it does not require special winter frost protection once established.
What is the expected height?
It arrives at 6ft; the eventual height depends on the rootstock, but typically it can reach 8-12ft if left unpruned.
Troubleshooting
Leaves turning yellow shortly after planting
This is often due to over-watering or poor drainage. Ensure the pot has holes and soil isn't waterlogged.
Tree looking limp or dry
Establish a consistent watering routine. Even established trees need deep watering during hot summer weeks.
Lack of fruit production
Ensure the tree receives enough direct sunlight and consider adding a balanced fruit-tree fertilizer in early spring.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your tree, remove it carefully from the bespoke shipping box. If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the width of the 12-litre pot and incorporate organic compost to encourage root establishment. For container planting, use a deep, heavy pot with drainage holes and a high-quality loam-based potting mix. Ensure the tree receives at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Care involves consistent watering throughout the first year, especially during dry spells, and an annual spring mulch to retain soil moisture and nutrients.
