Apple Tree

Brief Description

The apple tree is a deciduous tree, typically growing 2 to 15 meters (6 to 49 feet) tall, depending on the cultivar and rootstock. It has a broad, often rounded crown. The leaves are ovate with serrated margins, and the branches can be gnarled in old trees. The image shows a mature apple tree with dense green foliage, suggesting it is a fruit-bearing tree.

Care Instructions

Apple trees thrive in full sun (at least 6-8 hours daily) and well-drained, fertile soil with a pH between 6.0 and 7.0. They require consistent watering, especially during dry periods and fruit development. Pruning is essential annually in late winter or early spring to remove dead or diseased branches, improve air circulation, and encourage fruit production. Fertilization should be done according to soil test results, typically in early spring.
