Malus pumila 'Dewar' STARKSPUR ULTRA MAC
Malus pumila 'Dewar' STARKSPUR ULTRA MAC, commonly known as Dwarf Apple, is an ornamental fruiting tree with an upright, rounded form. It produces abundant white flowers in spring and attractive red fruits in the summer which tend to be smaller than a standard apple. It's perfect for smaller gardens, reaching a mature height of up to 2m. This dwarf variety is self-sterile and needs another apple variety to pollinate it, so it's best to plant them in pairs. It is a hardy variety, can be grown in full sun to partial shade and requires well-drained soil.

watering
Dwarf apple trees (Malus pumila 'Dewar' STARKSPUR ULTRA MAC) should be watered twice a week during the summer months and once a week during the winter months. When watering the tree, water deeply enough to saturate the soil down to the roots. As a general rule, provide the tree with about 1 inch of water each time. Water in the morning or afternoon and avoid watering at night to give the soil time to dry out. In periods of hot, dry weather, extra watering may be required.
sunlight
The dwarf apple (Malus pumila 'Dewar' STARKSPUR ULTRA MAC) is a hardy plant species that does best in full sun for at least 5 to 6 hours each day. It prefers a minimum of 6 hours to get the maximum yield from its blossoms and fruit production. Natural sunlight is best for this plant, as it needs ultraviolet light and regular water to produce quality fruit. During the growing season, you should water your dwarf apple tree every 5 to 7 days and fertilize it every 2 to 4 weeks to ensure it grows properly. Planting it in a sunny spot with well-drained soil will also help it thrive.
pruning
Dwarf Apple (Malus pumila "Dewar" STARKSPUR ULTRA MAC) should be pruned during both the summer and winter. During the summer, the tree should receive light pruning to shape the size and promote side branching. This can be done by removing dead or weakened branches and a few lateral branches to encourage more lateral branching. During winter, a heavier pruning is necessary to shape the tree and to remove dead and diseased branches. This is best done when the tree is dormant in February or March. Pruning should be done judiciously, as overly heavy pruning can cause stress in the tree.
