The Fuji apple tree is a vigorous variety native to Japan, renowned for its tasty fruit and stable productivity. Its large-sized apples (about 8.5 cm in diameter) have a green skin washed with red and a fine, firm, crunchy and juicy flesh. Their flavor is mild, very sweet and not very acidic, which makes them a very popular variety for fresh consumption.
The Fuji apple tree requires a sunny exposure for optimal fruiting.
It adapts to all types of soil, but prefers cool, well-drained soil. It tolerates limescale slightly.
This variety is self-sterile and requires the presence of other varieties for good pollination. The recommended pollinators are: Gala, Golden Delicious, Reine des Reinettes, and Granny Smith.
Very hardy, resistant to -20°C.
Perform maintenance pruning in late winter to maintain a balanced, airy shape. For trellised forms, do summer pruning.
In winter, bring wood ash to the base of the tree to improve fruiting. The ash is rich in potash, which is beneficial for fruit production.
Fuji apple trees can be susceptible to certain diseases such as scab, moniliosis and powdery mildew. Favour preventive control methods such as planting diversified hedges and installing nesting boxes to attract beneficial insects. In the event of an attack, preventive treatments based on horsetail decoction or Bordeaux mixture can be effective.
Fuji apples are excellent for fresh consumption thanks to their mild and sweet flavor. They are also well suited to baking, especially for making pies, compotes or other desserts.
