Wax apple trees are native to Southeast Asia and require a tropical climate to grow. They can be started from seed, but it is easier to purchase a young tree from a nursery. Wax apple trees need full sun and well-drained soil. They are drought tolerant but will produce more fruit if given supplemental water during dry periods. Fertilize wax apple trees three times a year with a balanced fertilizer. Wax apples will begin to produce fruit in 3-5 years. The fruit is ripe when it is soft and the skin is red or green.<\/p>\n

It is best to grow wax apple trees in areas with full sun and well-drained soil. Amend the soil with compost or other organic matter before planting. Wax apple trees can be purchased as bare-root trees or potted plants.<\/p>\n

Bare-root trees should be planted in the early spring before new growth begins. Soak the roots in water for a few hours before planting. Potted plants can be planted anytime of year.<\/p>\n

Space wax apple trees 15-20 feet apart. Once planted, water the trees well and keep the area around the trees weed free. Fertilize the trees in early spring with an all-purpose fertilizer.<\/p>\n
