2. Sow:

• • Choose a standard size pot about 12 inches deep (about 5 to 6 gallons).
  • Repot apple trees each year as they grow into larger pots.

• • Do not plant your tree directly in a large pot – start with a small pot and gradually change pots until your tree no longer grows vertically, but horizontally.
  • Your final pot should be 20 to 25 gallons.
  • Use fertile soil with good drainage. When planting, use soil rich in organic matter.

• • Place your apple tree in a sunny location without other plants or trees. Apple trees love their place.
  • Place the pot in a semi-shaded location on hot summer days.
  • Apple trees need cold winters and warm summers. If you live in a cold climate, your apple trees will have difficulty growing unless they are in a controlled environment.
