- Apple are a member of the family Rosaceae.

- The apple is a deciduous tree, generally standing 2 to 4.5 m (6 to 15 ft) tall in cultivation and up to 9 m (30 ft) in the wild. 

- Apple trees are cultivated worldwide and are the most widely grown species in the genus Malus

- They're high in antioxidants and fibre.

- Eating them has been associated to a decreased risk of diabetes, heart disease, and cancer, among other chronic diseases.

- Apples can help you lose weight and enhance your gut and cognitive health.

REQUIREMENTS

SOIL- Loamy soils

TEMPERATURE- 21-24(°C)

RAINFALL- 100-125cm

IRRIGATION

Irrigation is particularly critical during the budbreak – flowering stage and during the beginning of fruit fill.

The most critical periods of water requirement are April- August and peak water requirement is after fruit set.

Normally the orchards are irrigated immediately after manuring in the month of December-January.

During the summer periods, the crop is irrigated at an interval of 7-10 days.
