Planting & Care<\/h2>
1. Planting:<\/strong> For best results, find a location with well-drained soil and full sun – about 6 hours of sunlight per day. Once you’ve selected a location, dig a hole that’s twice the width of the root ball and just as deep. Then, place your tree, backfill and tamp down the soil, and water to settle the soil. Finally, mulch to retain moisture.<\/p>
*Tip:<\/strong> Make sure your mulch is not touching the base of the trunk.<\/p>
2. Watering:<\/strong> Your Winesap Apple will benefit from a regular watering each week, though you may have to water more during times of drought. If you’re not sure when to water, simply check the soil down to a depth of about 2 or 3 inches – if it’s dry here, it’s time to water.<\/p>
3. Pruning:<\/strong> Once your tree has become established and is starting to bear fruit, it will need some periodic, moderate pruning. Only prune the tree during times of dormancy, making sure to remove any vigorous, upright stems and weak, damaged or dead branches.<\/p>
Trees Of Antiquity
Stayman Winesap apples. One of our favorite apples in the fall and winter is the Stayman Winesap. It’s very good for baking, and I was happy to get a bag of these at the Farmer’s Market on Monday. Instead of pumpkin pie for Thanksgiving, I’ve made an apple crisp. (Okay, I will make some pumpkin muffins and perhaps some pumpkin cookies too.) Here’s a simple recipe that can be made in about an hour–20 minutes prep time and 40 minutes cooking time. This is modified from a recipe from Allrecipes.com. Ingredients: 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup rolled oats (not the Quick Cook ones) 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon cardamom 1/2 cup butter, melted 3 cups apples–peeled, cored and chopped 1/3 cup white sugar 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon Directions: 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease an 8-inch square pan with butter. 2. In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, oats, flour, nutmeg, cardamom and butter. Mix until crumbly. Place half of the crumb mixture in pan. Spread apples over the mixture. Sprinkle with sugar and cinnamon and top with remaining crumb mixture. 3. Bake in the preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, or until golden brown. Serves 8 Place half of crumb mixture in bottom of pan. Spread apples over crumb mixture. Sprinkle sugar and cinnamon over apples. Top with the remaining crumb mixture. Yummy! Well, I just had to try this, but there will still be plenty for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Yes, I think this will be a nice change for Thanksgiving dessert. Now I’m off to make the pumpkin cookies.
