disinfected pruning shears to stimulate root
growth. |

Planting a Fruit Tree is Just Not Digging a Hole
Growing apples in the
home garden |

|
Planting - watering - staking
and care for fruit trees : |
| |
Repeat watering every
other day for 2 weeks after planting.
The apple tree won't need fertilization until
the year of the first fruits appear.
The roots of the apple tree being very close to
the ground, you can still add a compost mulch
around the tree every year.
As needed, when the tree will bear fruit, an
addition of 10-10-10 may be necessary if you do
not add compost. We can always replace this
fertilizer with manure! |
