Landscape Uses and Maintenance of Apple Fruit Trees

Apple Trees are deciduous fruit trees that are an excellent investment for your property. These trees are a must-have for any gardener looking to live more sustainably. 

Plant your new tree in full sun. In addition to ensuring the tree receives enough light, a full-sun location will help it dry out after morning dew, reducing the risk of fungal issues.

Fertilize in early spring with a balanced formula. Do not fertilize after the midpoint of summer. Add a layer of compost, humus, or leaf mold around the base of the tree, staying away from the trunk. Do not create a volcano around your tree! Watch your trees for signs of disease or pests and treat quickly. Choosing varieties that are resistant to the issues is always a good idea to maintain orchard health. Flowers will attract pollinators like bees.
