What planting density is suitable for Luli apple?

For Luli apple trees, with a plant and row spacing of about 2?4 m, plant about 83 trees per mu, using the free spindle training system; with a plant and row spacing of about 3?4 m, plant about 55 trees per mu, using the small canopy delayed-open central leader training system.

Planting time for Luli apple saplings:

Most fruit trees can be planted in either autumn or spring. Autumn planting is done after leaf fall and before the soil freezes, and the earlier it is done, the better; planting early in this period means higher temperatures, which favors the production of new roots, and trees planted in autumn should be earthed up promptly after planting to protect against cold. Spring planting is done after the soil thaws and before bud break, and the earlier it is done within the suitable period, the better; if planting is late, the soil temperature rises and the root system has no time to recover, so the saplings are prone to the false-survival phenomenon.

Another appealing feature of the Luli apple is its early fruiting: after planting, it can reach 500 kg in the second year and 3000 kg in the fourth year. The Luli apple has a good appearance, inheriting the fruiting traits of Gala and the fruit shape and leaf shape of Fuji No. 1. Its fruit shape is regular and its size is uniform, giving it high commercial value. It is highly competitive among seasonal fruits.

As for disease resistance, the Luli apple has strong resistance to anthracnose; during the young tree stage, pay attention to preventing white moth disease.
