Perfect for country and cottage gardens to achieve that old-fashioned romantic character. May be pruned and trained for a higher crown for use as a street tree or to line sidewalks. |

| Care Instructions | Provide enriched, well-drained soil. Water deeply, regularly during first few growing seasons to establish root system; once established, reduce frequency. Feed before new spring growth appears. Thin heavy crops in early summer to prevent breakage or damage. Prune as needed to remove dead or damaged wood, or maintain smaller size. |
| History | Harvest Gold® is notable for its excellent resistance to scab, rust and mildew, and its fair resistance to fire blight. |
