Form: Deciduous fruit tree – height varies when grown from seed – up to 6 metres tall. 120 years ago there were 12,000 Apple Varieties in USA.  The apple is one of the better fruits to grow new varieties from.  We want tall trees that are easy to prune above grazing height of sheep and small cattle. All Apple Offspring are Mutants – result of prodgeny is unknown until they grow and set fruit

Functions: Trees grown from seed have the advantage of better root development. They are capable of “base pruning” so during establishment period – first 3 years – you can cut them back to ground level if needed to reshape. Always a hardier tree when grown from seed that live longer.

Frost and Hardiness: Apples require chill to drop leaves and set fruit

Planting: Warm Season up until end Feb. ideal.

Growth Rate: Recent planting of seedling apple into a dug out leucaena clump (to use old roots as conduits for new roots) has grown 300mm first 6 weeks. Anticipated 4-7 years to bear first fruit under ideal conditions. Pomegranate grown from seed is now bearing fruit at 3 rd Summer.
