Norland Apple
Malus 'Norland'
The Norland Apple (Malus 'Norland') is an amazing tree with fantastic qualities. It bears medium-sized fruits which are aromatic and have excellent qualities. The flesh is crisp and juicy, with a sweet-tart flavor. The skin is bright red with a waxy texture. It is also a very hardy tree and is resistant to fire blight. It can grow in both sunny and partially shaded areas, and is not picky about soil, making it an easy and reliable choice for orchards. Plus, it is one of the earliest season apples, ripening and ready to harvest in late July or early August. Enjoy the Norland Apple in pies, jams, and fresh—it's delicious!

watering
Norland Apple plants should be watered deeply and evenly twice a week during the growing season. About 1-2 inches of water per week is sufficient, and it is best to water in the morning to reduce evaporation and better allow the water to reach the root system. In addition to the regular weekly watering, it is important to water deeply during extended periods of dry spells. During the winter months, it is best to reduce watering to once a month or less.
sunlight
Norland Apple (Malus 'Norland') does best in full sun, with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. However, if the temperature exceeds 90°F it's best to provide some shade to the plant. For best results, arrange for the sunlight to fall on Norland Apple between 11am and 5pm, when the sun is at its strongest.
pruning
Norland Apple should be pruned in late winter, early spring, before the tree leafs out. For mature Norland Apples, up to 1/3 of the branches should be removed each year during this pruning period. For young trees, pruning should be slightly gentler, and should gradually increase year by year until the desired shape is achieved. To keep the tree healthy, all dead or diseased branches should be removed, and the tree should be thinned out to allow air to circulate and sunlight to penetrate. The goal of pruning should be to create a strong central leader and well-spaced scaffold branches.
