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.

   if the area is too large to dig you can create a border around the area with boards or ? then line with a thick layer of grass clippings or whatever you have handy . Get a load of compost delivered enough to do a 4-6 inch layer if you can afford it I would do 6 inches of good loamy soil first then the compost this should kill any weeds and act like a raised bed.

   Google “no till” gardening. It’s a technique that preserves the soil structure that is otherwise disrupted by tilling or spading. I’m trying it because I’m lazy but the plants are supposed to benefit a lot more using this technique.
