Hello! I have a AZ locally purchased Tropic Sweet apple as well. Mine has been very slow growing compared to the Anna so jealous of yours. The fruit is very sweet, but very hard regardless of how long allowed to ripen so I'm curious how your fruit has been? My Desert Gold peaches are opposite of yours, they are by far the largest of my three varieties. Thanks for the video!
Yes our tropic Sweet Apple is a slow grower initially. We have increased our watering this year and noticed it grew 3 ft since spring Bud break. I know the rootstocks that are used at RSI growers are very thirsty and they want to be full size trees. So the more you water them the faster they grow!
Apple trees in general rotate years with crops. So some years they won't produce any apples and then other years they will produce many. We haven't had a good year yet just one or two apples. The tree has been in the ground now for three Summers.
