Plant Care
Planting:

Location: Choose a sunny spot with well-drained soil.
Soil: Ensure the soil is rich in organic matter and slightly acidic to neutral (pH 6.0-7.0).
Spacing: Space the plants about 10-15 feet apart to allow for proper growth and air circulation.
Planting Time: Plant the saplings during the early morning or late afternoon to avoid the heat of the day.
Watering:

Frequency: Water the plant deeply once a week, increasing frequency during hot, dry periods.
Method: Use drip irrigation or a soaker hose to ensure the water reaches the root zone without causing soil erosion.
Fertilizing:

Type: Use a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for fruit trees.
Schedule: Fertilize in early spring before new growth begins and again in late spring.
Pruning:

Timing: Prune the tree in late winter or early spring while it is still dormant.
Method: Remove dead or diseased branches, and thin out the canopy to allow sunlight to penetrate.
Pest and Disease Control:

Monitoring: Regularly inspect the plant for signs of pests such as aphids, spider mites, and apple maggots.
Treatment: Use organic pesticides or horticultural oil as needed. Ensure proper sanitation around the tree to prevent disease.
Harvesting:

Timing: Harvest apples when they are firm and have developed their full color.
Method: Gently twist the apple and lift it off the branch to avoid damaging the tree.
