Growing Galaxy Apple Trees Successfully in NZ

Galaxy Apple trees thrive in full sun on well-drained, fertile soil with good air circulation. Choose a sheltered spot away from strong winds and plant in winter or early spring. Regular watering, especially during dry spells and periods of fruit development, is crucial. Prune annually in winter to maintain the shape and encourage fruit production. Mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.

Galaxy Apple Care Tips

Plant Galaxy apple trees in full sun with well-drained, fertile soil. Water regularly during dry periods, especially in spring and summer when fruit is developing. Apply a balanced fertiliser in early spring to support healthy growth and fruiting. Prune in winter to shape the tree and encourage airflow, which helps prevent disease. Watch for common pests, such as codling moth, and manage them with traps or sprays as needed. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and control weeds.

Tree Size and Spacing

Galaxy apple trees typically grow to 3-4 metres tall and 2-3 metres wide when grafted onto dwarfing or semi-dwarf rootstocks. For home gardens or orchards, space trees approximately 3-4 metres apart to allow for adequate light, airflow, and ease of harvesting. Proper spacing also helps reduce disease risk and promotes healthier, more productive growth.
