Yellow Transparent Apple Tree

I hesitate to answer this question too specifically because my tree was planted in NY which is a significant hardiness zone difference so the time frame will be different. However, I can't think that the basics would differ very much. Apple trees would be planted, as would any tree, either in early spring - pretty much as soon as the soil can be worked but not when it is still very wet if this is a problem - or as soon as temps begin to cool in late summer or early fall. In NY this often occurs by mid-August (unfortunately!). Trees lose a tremendous percentage of the fine feeder root system when transplanted. This must be replaced and the larger the tree the longer that takes. These planting times allow root growth without the transpirational demands of foliage. We actually received our tree very early. I was a bit worried but we put it in the ground and it is doing well despite some early deer damage. Once planted make sure the tree gets plenty of water but don't drown!, roots must get their oxygen from the atmosphere as it diffuses through the soil, and mulch. Mulch keeps the soil more evenly moist and prevents weed wacker damage. I hope this helps. Enjoy!! - the very best applesauce in the world!

The Liberty is an Early - Mid season bloomer and should overlap bloom time with the Yellow Transparent.

Hi Judith - We have a great article on our site titled "Winter Protection for Fruit Trees". Just copy and paste that in the search bar. If you have any further questions please don't hesitate to reach back out to us. Have a great day!

from the old-timers who are acquainted with this older variety, the apple is ready for use when the seeds are brown. so take an apple off the tree and cut into same and you'll have the answer.
our area of Oregon is 4000 feet in elevation and with the cool nights, the transparent apples tend to be mature in (late) August and that's when we make the sauce from this apple, and its companion, the Lodi.

We are located in Louisiana Missouri.

It is hard to say if the broken area is exposed disease and others issues can riddle the tree. The good thing is it is above the graft. If your tree is within our 1 year guarantee please reach out to customer service and we will be happ to take care of you.

Yes, it was recommended to help with cross-pollination. A like-type, Lodi
Apple Semi Dwarf, tree was also planted at the same time in close proximation to the Yellow Transparent apple. Both are growing nicely.

Unsure of that variety, but I understand that the yellow transparent was a Russian variety brought over to the US in late 1800.
