Apple ‘Magnus Summer Surprise’ – Freshly Potted*

A medium, upright deciduous fruiting tree which requires pollination for fruit development. Apple Magnus Summer Surprise produces long slender stems with elliptic deep green leaves, changing colour in autumn. It will require annual pruning once the foliage has dropped in winter. This will encourage a stronger branching framework, airflow through the canopy and better fruit quality. Apple Magnus Summer Surprise produces medium rounded fruit with bright ruby-red skin. The flesh is a bright red, firm and crisp, with great flavour. Apple Magnus Summer Surprise grows best in humus-rich soil, which is well-draining.

Planting Tips:
Prepare the soil before planting. Mixing in a bag of well-aged animal manure or compost will help to condition and revitalise tired soils. If adding organic matter to your soil, make sure to blend the compost or animal manure with pre-existing soil, mixing/digging it together thoroughly. Once the soil has been prepared, dig a wider hole, but not deeper, than the pot’s original size has come in. Position the plant in the hole, backfill any gaps with the excess soil. Do not bury the graft of the plant. Give the plant a deep soaking of water to help settle the roots.

Suppose planting into a pot. The container chosen is large enough to accommodate the plant being planted. Never pot a plant into a container that is too small. Use a premium quality potting mix as this has all the added fertilisers and wetting agents required for having a healthy plant.
