The Fuji Apple Tree is a proven late-season producer that can keep fruit available on your property long after many other varieties have finished.
With apples typically ripening and dropping from late October into early December, Fuji provides an attractive soft mast source during the heart of hunting season and into the early winter months. Its sweet fruit is highly attractive to whitetails and other wildlife, making it an excellent addition to a strategically planned wildlife orchard.

A wildlife orchard shouldn't produce everything in September.
By combining early, mid, and late-producing varieties, you can create changing food sources throughout the fall. Fuji fills the back end of that plan, producing fruit when many earlier apple and crabapple varieties are already finished.
Pair Fuji with August, September, and October-producing varieties to build a soft mast program designed to keep producing throughout the season.
Plant Fuji Apple in full sun and well-drained soil for the best growth and fruit production. Give trees adequate spacing for mature growth, sunlight, and airflow.
Protect young trees from deer browse and rubbing, control competing vegetation around the base, and provide adequate water during establishment.
When November rolls around and other food sources begin disappearing, having fruit still available can add serious value to your property.
Fuji gives your habitat plan a late-season producer designed to help keep the food coming when it matters.
Late fruit. Longer season.
THIS IS YOUR LAND.
