Apple (Green, Grafted) - Fruit Plant

About Apple (Green, Grafted)

Apple (Malus domestica) is a deciduous tree in the rose family, grown worldwide for its sweet fruit. The leaves are dark green, simple ovals with serrated margins and slightly downy undersides. This grafted Green Apple plant is propagated by grafting, which is the standard way apples are commercially reproduced.

Growing Conditions

• Sunlight: Full sun.
• Soil: Well-drained, fertile soil.
• Climate: Apple is a temperate fruit and genuinely needs cold-winter chill hours to fruit well - this is why commercial apple growing in India is concentrated in Himachal Pradesh, Jammu & Kashmir and Uttarakhand rather than the plains; low-chill varieties can work in some other regions but results vary.

Planting & Spacing

Grow in the ground once established, giving the tree room to develop.

Care

• Watering: Regular watering, avoiding waterlogging.
• Fertilizer: Balanced organic fertilizer during the growing season.
• Pruning: Annual pruning during dormancy to shape and remove damaged wood.

Fruiting & Harvest

Grafted apple plants typically begin fruiting in around 2-3 years, provided the local climate offers adequate winter chill hours.

Note: This listing ships a young nursery plant, not a fruiting tree. Time to first fruit and yield vary by climate, care, and region - we don't promise a fixed timeline. Apple seeds contain trace amounts of a cyanide-producing compound and shouldn't be eaten in quantity - the flesh itself is completely safe and healthy. Image is for reference; the actual plant may vary in shape or appearance based on climate, age and height.
