Apples

Apple and crabapple trees are some of the most popular fruit trees to grow in home gardens and orchards. The apple blossoms are a sight to behold when they burst into bloom in the springtime. The fruits are a treat for snacking, baking, making into juice and using in other recipes. Apple trees grow best in full sun, or six or more hours of direct sunlight daily. When selecting the best apple trees to plant in your garden or yard, first make sure the tree is suitable for your hardiness zone. Next, consider its mature height and spread. If you have limited space, consider growing a dwarf apple tree.
