🍎Root Pruning Apple Trees🍎 This this year, and every year we focus on quality fruit management. It involves countless hours of planning and labor to ensure that we have quality fruit for our customers to pick from. One of the ways we help invigorate our trees (especially the older trees) is by root pruning. #RootPruning is the process of running blades along the root line. We are forcing the trees energy towards the production of the apples instead of the growth of the tree itself. 🌎Happy Earth Day🌎 #Apples #AppleBlossom #PickYourOwn #PYOFarm #KnowYourFruit #KnowYourFarmer #FarmFresh #FarmToTable #EastmontFresh #RootPruning #EarthDay

🌸🍎Planting Apple Trees🍎🌸 Today we planted 3 rows of Honeycrisp apples. These trees will bear fruit and be ready for picking 3 seasons from now. Honeycrisps are a sweet, crisp variety of apples that are usually available to pick in the beginning of September. 🍎 #Apples #Honeycrisp #WorthYheWait #PickYourOwnFarm #PYOApples #KnowYourFruit #KnowYourFarmer #BuyLocal #FarmFresh #FarmToTable #EastmontFresh

Replanting Apple Trees. 🍎🍏 Sometimes our apple trees don’t do well, for whatever reason. Thankfully we planted extra Gala trees in another spot when we originally put them in 4 years ago. Here are some videos of Chris and Ryan replanting a Gala tree. It takes a lot of work, skill, and care to handle this job. Don’t let them fool you, they make it look really easy! #Apples #PickYourOwnFarm #PYOFarm #KnowYourFruit #KnowYourFarmer #FarmerChris #FarmerRyan #JerseyFresh #EastmontFresh #Gala #GalaApples #JerseySoil #Kubota @kubotausa
