apple trees
Welcome to Apple Trees, this site is fanatical about anything to do with apples and apple trees. Our fanaticism started when we planted our dwarf apple tree in our small back garden. Gradually, this became an obsession and to cut a long story short, we bought some land and started our own orchard.


To say our apple trees are our passion would be an understatement. We will be gradually adding lots of photos and apple trees articles, including growing apple tree guides, guide on dwarf apples trees, apple recipes, apple tree growing and much more!

You will be able to buy apple trees here also! Apple trees for sale around the UK will be listed, as will review guides and how to buy apple trees.

    Contact your County Extension office for more local advice. They will know what best grows in East Texas.

    I work at my County Extension office in Southeast Arizona and we get peach questions all the time. Here’s my two cents worth.

    Many peaches are self-fruiting which means they don’t need a second tree for pollination. Some plums do need a second pollinator. Also, many peaches need “Chill Hours” and the hours depend on the variety. For many peaches that’s 200-400 hours of temperatures below 45F. If the trees don’t chill long enough every winter, they often don’t form buds in the spring. Does it even get that cold in East Texas? Perhaps the Mexican Plum would be better.

    There are so many varieties of peaches and plums, so do your research
