Overview

While professional apple growers have learned traditional, time tested ways to get the most from their apple orchards, most of us are hobbyists who simply enjoy the taste of a fresh off the tree apple. There are many reasons people grow apple trees in their own backyards or smaller groves and orchards. The ability to make fresh apple sauce or pies or just grab a tasty treat right off the tree are just a few. If you've chosen to grow apples yourself, you will soon learn that it can be rewarding and (as most rewarding things in life are) somewhat difficult. This detailed guide to growing your own apple trees will cover nearly everything you need to know, from planting the young seedlings to harvesting apples from a matured tree. Many generations of apple growers have used simple guidelines to ensure the success of their orchards. These tips are handy for the professional grower as well as the hobbyist. I will cover special considerations for choosing a variety of tree that best suits your needs, and the best ways to care for your trees to encourage them to grow strong and healthy so they can consistently yield delicious fruits. Diseases, pruning, special care for grafted trees, thinning the fruit, and much more will be covered in this guide. In addition, I will present you with twenty of the most popular apple varieties and their specific needs.

Author Information

I was born in Eastern Europe where I was raised until the age of 10. During the summers, I would visit my grandmother's apple orchard on the outskirts of the city. It was a three-month period of the year that I would always look forward to. Nothing compares to spending time in the sun and enjoying nature with friends in the neighborhood. This apple orchard is where I learned to ride a bike. It's where my grandmother practiced reading, writing and math with me. It's where I earned my cuts and bruises; climbing trees, swinging on the swing, digging around in the dirt and just generally being a curious kid. As I grew older, my appreciation for the craft of apple tree maintenance has grown. I decided to learn everything that I could about this fine art. It turns out it's both fun and rewarding to have your own orchard. Now, I want to bring that childhood joy to readers worldwide. While there is much more to maintaining an orchard, this practical guide has just given you the foundation you need to successfully start your own garden. Even if you're operating in a tiny space. I hope you enjoyed this practical guide to growing healthy apples. Please remember to leave it a good review so others can discover this book for themselves.
