Plant apple seeds 1/4 inch deep and space them 12-15 feet apart 🌍. For rows, space them 15-20 feet apart.
4. Watering Requirements:
Water apple trees regularly 💧, especially during dry spells. Deep watering is essential to encourage strong root growth.
5. Germination Time:
Apple seeds typically take 30-60 days to germinate ⏳.
6. Ongoing Care:
Prune apple trees annually to maintain shape and remove dead or diseased wood 🍏. Fertilize in early spring and mulch to retain moisture.
