Caring for your apple tree

Apple trees are relatively easy to care for, but with the right attention you can ensure a healthy tree and a bountiful harvest.

Light: Apple trees do best in full sun. The more sun, the greater the harvest and the sweeter the apples.

Soil: Provide well-drained, fertile soil. Add organic fertilizer or compost at planting to encourage growth.

Water: Water the tree regularly, especially during dry periods and in the first year of growth. However, avoid keeping the roots too wet.

Pruning: Pruning is essential for healthy growth and a good harvest. Prune in winter to maintain the shape of the tree and remove dead or crossing branches. Summer pruning can be done to allow light and air to pass through the crown.

Fertilization: Use an organic fertilizer in spring to promote growth and fruit set.

Pollination: Some apple varieties require another tree for cross-pollination to produce fruit. When purchasing, check to see if your tree is self-pollinating or if an additional tree is needed.
