Comments:
The apple is among our most important fresh fruit. Trees grow best and produce the best fruit in the cooler regions of the country. Trees are short-lived in the Coastal South and trees and fruit are plagued by a number of disease problems, especially in the Lower South. Provide a fertile, well-drained soils for growing apples. Both flowers and the fruit have ornamental value in the landscape.
