Pollination Group 3/Self-Fertile - Eating Apple
As the name suggests, Apple ‘Red Devil’ yields good crops of bright crimson-red, dessert fruits which have lightly red-stained flesh when ripe. The fruits have a lovely sweet flavour with a slight sharpness and a hint of strawberry. When juiced they produce particularly appealing pink juice. This is a superb, self-fertile garden variety with good disease resistance. Crops can be harvested in late September and will store well until December.
This variety is self-fertile and does not require a pollination partner.
Estimated time to cropping once planted: 2 years.
Estimated time to best yields: 5 years.

Fruit trees do not suffer weed competition well. Keep weeds and grass clear from within a 30cm radius of base of the tree. In spring, while the ground is moist, apply a mulch of well rotted manure or garden compost around the base of the tree, taking care not to mound it up against the stem. This will help to retain moisture throughout the summer. Feed and water apple trees during particularly dry periods.
Pruning apple trees begins immediately after planting. Remove the central stem to just above the highest side branch. For the following 3 years, prune only the tips of the remaining main branches by one third in winter. Aim for about six main branches which will form the frame of your tree, with fruiting sub branches growing off of them. From the fourth year, some sub branches can be pruned out at the union where they join the main branch, to allow new sub branches to take their place.
In order to produce the best quality, largest apples, the fruits should be thinned in July leaving two apples remaining per cluster.
