Apple Tree

An apple tree, a classic fruit tree for Michigan that produces edible apples in the fall.

Backyard Orchard Beauty & Harvest

Planting an Apple Tree is an investment in years of memories. Beyond the delicious fall harvest, these trees offer spectacular spring interest when they are covered in clouds of fragrant white and pink blossoms. Whether you want crisp apples for fresh eating or tart varieties for baking pies, there is an apple tree for every taste.

Why You Need It:

  • Edible Landscape: Grow your own organic fruit right at home.
  • Spring Color: The spring blossom display is rivaled only by ornamental flowering cherries.
  • Wildlife Support: The early blooms are a vital food source for spring pollinators.

Planting Tips:

Apple trees need Full Sun (at least 6-8 hours) to produce sweet fruit. Important: Most apple varieties require a second, different variety nearby for cross-pollination to set fruit.
