It thrives in full sun, but is tolerant of partial shade. It is self-fertile and its pollination needs the presence of other variety that blooms at the same time. Pollination group 2. It is resistant to frost, but needs to be sheltered from harsh winter winds. Regular pruning and fruit thinning is required. Apple 'Idared' is a lovely tree mostly grown for its fruit. Excellent for eating fresh, and making apple sauces and pies. Great addition to any garden.
