Apple
Malus domestica
Apple trees are rewarding fruiting trees that need at least 6 hours of direct sun, fertile well-drained soil, and regular watering during fruit development. Most varieties require a compatible pollinator variety planted nearby to produce a good crop, so plan to grow at least two trees. Annual pruning in late winter, pest monitoring, and seasonal feeding will keep your apple tree healthy and productive for decades.
