Great advice for fruit trees

Water

Give plenty of water in the beginning. Use mulch around the tree to prevent evaporation and weeds. Provide extra water during dry periods, especially in the first few years.

Nutrients,

Young apple trees do not need as much nutrients. Improve the soil with manure in the spring and supplement with organic garden fertilizer in the spring and summer.

Remove weeds

Be careful to remove grass and weeds in a diameter around the trunk so that they do not steal nutrients from the tree.

Pollination of fruit trees

In order to have a lot of nice fruit, fruit trees must be pollinated by a different variety. If you live in a residential area, this is rarely a problem, but if you live more remotely, it may be wise to plant different varieties that pollinate each other in the garden.
