Envy apples are a round variety with striated, ruby red skin with green undertones. They have a crisp, sweet white flesh that will stay pure white for up to 10 hours before succumbing to oxidation and turning brown. The lenticels appear as specks on the Envy apple; the more specks, the sweeter the apple.
Early season apples for the tree will need low-nitrogen fertilizer. The fertilization process can begin two years after planting. Rake the fertilizer evenly into the soil around the base and be sure to keep it about two feet out and six inches away from the trunk.
When planting a envy apple tree, be sure to go with well-draining, loamy soil. Like most apple trees, the soil pH should be between 6 and 7.
The apple tree is considered to be cold hardy, but it will always bear fruit in the summer (typically July).
