Apple Peasgood Nonsuch will thrive in soil that is

Plant Apple 'Peasgood Nonsuch' in full sun.

For the best crops:

Choose a warm, open position with at least six to eight hours of direct sunlight daily.
Shelter the tree from strong prevailing winds where possible.
Allow enough room for good airflow around the canopy.

Water deeply once or twice a week during the first growing season.

Water during:

Extended dry periods.
Flowering and fruit development.
Hot summer weather.

Consistent watering helps produce larger, juicier fruit.

Feed annually in late winter or early spring with:

Compost or well-rotted organic matter.
A balanced fruit tree fertiliser.

Avoid excessive nitrogen, which encourages leafy growth at the expense of fruit production.

Apple 'Peasgood Nonsuch' is not self-fertile and requires a compatible apple variety that flowers at the same time.

Suitable pollination partners include:

Apple 'Granny Smith'
Apple 'Royal Gala'
Apple 'Splendour'

Planting another compatible apple nearby will improve pollination and increase fruit production.

Prune during winter while the tree is dormant.

For best results:

Remove dead, damaged or diseased branches.
Thin crowded growth to improve airflow and sunlight penetration.
Maintain an open, balanced framework.
Remove any vigorous water shoots.

Regular pruning improves fruit size, quality and overall tree health.

Fruit is generally ready to harvest from late February through March.

Harvest when:

The fruit has developed its full colour.
Apples lift easily from the branch with a gentle twist.
The flesh is crisp and juicy.

The apples can be enjoyed fresh or stored for several weeks in a cool place.

Apple 'Peasgood Nonsuch' is highly frost hardy and well suited to many regions of New Zealand.

The tree requires winter chilling for reliable flowering and fruit production. While the tree tolerates winter frosts well, late spring frosts may occasionally affect blossom and reduce the crop.

Apply mulch around the base each winter, keeping it clear of the trunk.

Healthy trees are generally easy to maintain.

Monitor for:

Codling moth
Aphids
Woolly apple aphid
Apple scab
Powdery mildew

Good pruning, orchard hygiene and prompt removal of fallen fruit and leaves will help reduce pest and disease pressure.
