Apples

Malus x domestica – Apples require a well-drained, fertile soil with good moisture. They generally don’t require a pollinator, as bees will pollinate if there are other apple trees within a few kilometres. Plant two or more varieties if there are no other apple trees around. We recommend ‘high health’ varieties for organic and home orchardists – being largely resistant to black spot and mildew, they generally require little spraying.
