Growing apple trees in your backyard is easier than you think and incredibly rewarding.
Start by choosing a variety that suits your climate—like Fuji, Gala, or Granny Smith.
Apple trees need full sunlight, so pick a spot with at least 6–8 hours of daily sun.
Plant in well-draining, slightly acidic soil, spacing trees 15–20 feet apart.
Spring or early fall is ideal for planting.
Water young trees deeply once a week, and mulch around the base to retain moisture.
Prune annually to shape the tree and encourage fruit production.
Use organic fertilizer in early spring. Watch for pests like aphids or codling moths and treat as needed.
