How to grow organic apples in pots. (Page 2 ) | January 1, 2024
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.
