Tips to Grow Apple:

  1. Arrange good quality apple plants.
  2. The soil should be able to retain some moisture. Light- to medium-texured soils are best.
  3. Dig a hole approximately twice the diameter of the root system and 15 inches deep. Place some of the loose soil back into the hole and loosen the soil on the walls of the planting hole so the roots can easily penetrate the soil.
  4. Renew mulch periodically, but pull it away from the tree in the fall so mice don’t nest over the winter and eat the bark.
  5. Pluck your apples when their background color is no longer green. The stem should part readily from the branch when the fruit is cupped in the palm of your hand.
  6. Different apple varieties mature at different times, so the harvest season can stretch from August to October.
