Malus domestica, commonly known as the apple tree, is a deciduous fruit tree prized for its crisp, flavorful fruit and beautiful spring blossoms. Fun fact: there are over 7,500 known apple varieties grown around the world, each with its own unique flavor, texture, and best use for fresh eating, baking, or cider. Apple trees make an attractive and productive addition to the home orchard.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Water regularly until established; once established, water deeply during extended dry periods, especially during flowering and fruit development
• Pruning: Prune annually during the dormant season to maintain an open canopy, improve air circulation, and encourage fruit production
• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced fruit tree fertilizer in early spring before new growth begins
