Commonly Asked Questions
What is the best month to plant apple trees?
The best time to plant apple trees is in the spring, particularly in March and April for most regions. In warmer climates (USDA zones seven and above), planting in the fall is also feasible.
Should you let an apple tree fruit in the first year?
In the first year after planting, it’s important to focus on the tree’s establishment and crown development. Remove any young fruit that forms in this period. By the second year, if the tree is growing well, you can allow one or two fruits to develop.
Where do apple trees grow best?
Apple trees thrive in locations that receive full sun and have well-drained, fertile soil. Full sun is defined as a minimum of six to eight hours of sunlight during the growing season.
Can apple trees be grown in pots?
Yes, apple trees can be grown in pots, especially if you choose a dwarfing rootstock. The pot itself will help restrict growth, but results may vary.
Are apple trees good for small gardens?
Absolutely. For small gardens, dwarf-bush, spindlebush, pyramid, cordon, or stepover apple trees are ideal. These compact forms can even thrive in pots, making them perfect for limited spaces.
