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.
Don’t 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.
