We have available large quantities of Empire and Red Delicious Apple Tree's that range in age from 10-15 years old and have been lovingly cared for over, they have been pruned for this season, soil conditions mainly sandy and would be best for these tree's to be planted in similar lighter soil conditions.

The apple cultivar Empire is an open-pollinated seedling of McIntosh selected at Geneva, New York and named in 1966. Since its release this cultivar has gained moderate market acceptance and is now being widely planted. Empire is a MciIntosh type that overcomes some of the problems associated with McIntosh. This cultivar, while not as easy to grow as McIntosh, is very precocious and can be a consistent annual producer. The fruit is firmer, develops more red colour than McIntosh and stores well. The tree does not exhibit strong vegetative growth at maturity and fruiting effectively slows total tree growth as well. The fruit colour of Empire is naturally good in properly pruned canopies, preharvest drop is not a problem, and properly matured and harvested fruit stores well.

Empire requires attention to detail in the orchard management program if long-term production of superior crops is expected. Empire is very fruitful and has a heavy spur system, although the tree is not a true spur type. Shoot and secondary branch growth should be maintained, especially in the fruiting tree. Loss of active shoot growth is rapidly followed by the development of a "spurbound" condition and loss of fruit size.

Encouragement of vigourous vegetative growth in the first years in the orchard is mandatory for successful training and canopy development of Empire trees. Proper preplant soil preparation, correction of drainage, pH, replant or other soil-related problems, selection of well-grown, vigourous nursery stock, and planting as early in the spring as possible all help to produce strong tree growth.
