About Apple
Apple trees are long-lived productive and available in hundreds of varieties suited to every climate.
Plant at least two compatible varieties for cross-pollination (or a self-fertile variety). Choose disease-resistant varieties for lower maintenance. Prune every winter to maintain shape and production.
