Apples are generally late blooming. Need full sun, well-drained soil, and moderate fertility. Thin fruit to maximize quality and size. Susceptible to codling moth, apple scab, powdery mildew, and gophers. Generally cross-fertile, which means that the variety is not pollinated by itself, but by a different variety of the same fruit. Three or more varieties are best.

Please Note: Although most of our bare-root trees arrive to our warehouse in mid-December, there are a few varieties that will not arrive until mid-January.
If you order any of those varieties along with varieties that arrive in mid-December, your order will be delayed for shipment until mid-January. If you'd like us to split your shipments, please contact us at or orderdesk groworganic. Additional shipping charges will apply. We ship our bare root trees on a first-come, first-served basis beginning in mid-December.
We are unable to delay shipping due to many factors, most importantly limited storage and our warm California climate which causes bare root trees to break dormancy much sooner than in colder areas bare root trees must be dormant to best survive shipping.
Once an item ships, you will receive shipment notification and tracking numbers, so you can follow along while your plant travels to your doorstep. Due to winter weather we have put a hold on shipping to the areas shown below in grey. You can still order now and we will ship the plant to you during an appropriate time for your zone.

The Fuji Apple is the result of a cross created by the Tohoku Research Station in Fujisaki Japan, the city where the Fuji earned its name, in late The Ralls Janet apple was first grown on the farm of M. Caleb Ralls in Amherst county Virginia in the late 's. Reports that the variety was gifted to Thomas Jefferson by Charles Genet, the French minister to the United States, and planted at Monticello are vague.
The variety has been used in several popular apple crosses through years since. Today's Fuji apple was introduced into the US in the early 's, not gaining popularity until its widespread market introduction in the early 's. Since that time many selections have been introduced to the commercial market with different ripening times, deeper red color, and better storage adaptations.
The BC 2, one of early introductions of Fuji, remains one of the most popular grown for the home gardener. Its flavor is the true standard for all Fuji Apples offered today. Though Fuji is reported to be self- fruitful, this may be limited to a very few locations such as the cooler coastal regions of California. Therefore, it is recommended that Fuji be planted with a pollinating variety.
