Apples are the most popular orchard fruit. They suit the British climate and although they prefer rich, moist, well-drained soil, they still manage to crop well even in poor conditions.Follow these simple steps in order to produce some wonderful apples.
Step 1.
Apples are easily grown on dwarf stock in large pots and special varieties have been developed that need very little pruning.
Step2.
For beauty and productivity in small gardens, apples are best grown as espaliers as they benefit from the protection of a warm fence or wall.
Step3.
Weel-established trees in containers can be planted at any time of the year if the roots aren't damaged or the surrounding soil disturbed.
Step4.
There are no special planting requirements except that the graft (the distinctive swelling on the stem) is not planted beneath the soil.
Step 5.
With no other special planting requirments, water generously to help tress establish and make good growth, add a heavy mulch.
Happy eating and remember - An apple a day helps keep the doctor away!
