Semi Dwarf Apple Fuji
Come fall, the tree bears a heavy crop of medium-sized apples with a striking orange-red blush. These apples are sweet, crisp, and juicy, striking a harmonious balance between tartness and sweetness. When stored in a refrigerator, they remain fresh for up to 12 months.
Habitat and Cultivation
Malus ‘Fuji’ thrives in full sun and well-drained, loamy soils. It graces landscapes across various climate zones, from hardiness zone 5 to 9. The tree’s mature size depends on the version chosen: dwarf (8–10 feet) or semi-dwarf (12–15 feet). As a culinary delight, it requires pollination by another apple tree with a matching bloom period, such as Braeburn, Golden Delicious, or Red Delicious. Regular pruning ensures optimal fruit production, while thinning the fruit to about 8 inches apart results in the best-quality yield.
