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.

   depends where you live.
   if you get frost in the winter then forget orange unless tyou grow them in containers so they can be overwintered indoors.
   apples. dig a hole a bit deeper than the container it is in. put the tree in this hole ,making sure that the grafting point is above the ground( the knobly bit above the roots).put in a wooden stake 1.5″square 4′ tall, next to tree and secure tree to stake with tree ties, fill in hole topdress with fertiliser.happy eating, in about 3 yrs

   Depends on where you are. If you are in an area that is subtropical where an orange tree will thrive than it will be far easier to grow an orange tree because apple trees require a certain amount of chilling hours (under the freezing point) to produce blossoms and fruit. Oranges do not need any chilling at all.
   If you are in an area where the winter temps go below freezing for weeks on end you will have an easy time growing an apple tree but an orange tree would die unless it is inside a heated building
   Plant apples in late winter/early spring. Dig a hole that is 3x larger than the root ball. Put in 1/2 bu of compost and back fill, making sure the tree is standing straight. Keep well watered the first year. Pruning starts in year two and you should get your first apples year 5.

   depends on the location of your yard -we don’t have orange trees in northern NV, but apple trees do very well. talk to your local nurseryman.
