Dorsett Golden apple trees are partially self-fertile, meaning they don't need other trees to pollinate, but they will produce a larger, tastier crop if cross-pollinated by another apple tree.
propagation
Apples can be propagated by several methods, including hardwood cuttings, softwood cuttings, and grafting. Tongue and cleft grafting, done 10–15 cm above the collar in February or March, gives the best results.
site and soil
Dorsett Golden Apple trees grow best in well-drained, loamy soil with a pH of 6.0–6.5. They can tolerate many soil types, but prefer moist soil that is not wet. Apple trees can adapt well to soil additives like compost or fertilizers, so they can grow in poor soil as long as the soil is not extremely heavy and has good drainage.
