Planting: Ensure you select a location with well-drained soil and full sun (6 hours of sunlight each day). Once you've chosen your area, dig a hole that's twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Place your new Pixie in the hole, tamp down the soil as you fill the hole to prevent air pockets, and mulch around the base to preserve moisture. Finally, water to settle the soil.*Tip: Make sure your mulch is not touching the base of the trunk.2. Watering: Your Pixie Apple will benefit from a regular watering each week. You may need to water more often in times of extreme heat or drought. However, if you're not sure when to water, simply check the soil about 2 or 3 inches down. If the soil is dry here, it's time to water.3. Pruning: Once your tree has become established and is starting to bear fruit, it will need some periodic, moderate pruning. Only prune the tree during times of dormancy, making sure to remove any vigorous, upright stems and weak, damaged or dead branches.
