Questions & Answers
We bought Candy Crisp apples at the historic building in Louisiana two years in a row. They truly are crisp and very sweet. No offense intended to Minnesota University, but we like Candies better than Honeycrisp.
An ice storm bent one of our year old Candies all the way over until the tip was iced to the ground. This spring it is growing straight and tall again. It was a whip one year ago and is now over six feet tall. They are a yellowish color and rather large from a mature tree. We kept the Candies purchased from Stark headquarters in a dedicated fridge at 40 degrees and the few that remain after 6 months are still crisp and sweet.
We look forward to enjoying Candies from our own trees Ina few years.

I'm just beginning to grow apple trees, but I've found that Stark's has a wonderful section called the Growing Guide that's very helpful. I believe they say that you *can* grow dwarf fruit trees in pots, and give specific recommended pot sizes. I think you'll have to be aware of the tree's growth, and increase the pot size accordingly. Also, you'll need to look into proper fertilizing to keep the tree healthy.
I hope this helps, and that you enjoy your own apples!
