Apple Tree:-
An apple tree is a deciduous flowering tree which bears fruit. The fruit of an apple tree generally grows on wood growth that is from last seasons. Apple tree requires a mate in order to pollinate and bear fruit. They can grow unto to 35- 40 feet tall or higher. Many gardeners prefer dwarfed apple trees, as they are easier to trim and harvest.

One is that they are typically not self-pollinating; planting two or more different species with similar bloom times is a good idea. The location should have soil that is well drained, as standing water will easily kill the trees. There should be good air drainage, keeping low-lying cold air in the spring away from the tree and must have full sun access. Once the site is selected, the first step in planting apple trees is to dig the hole. The hole should be approximately twice the diameter of the root system, and two feet deep. The soil should also be loosened up around the border to allow the roots to break through more easily. The roots should be spread out on the loose soil, ensuring that they are not twisted or crowded. Soil should be placed around the roots and pressed down firmly, to remove any air pockets.
