I might be picking your brain soon about how to care for apple trees and get the best harvest from them. What kind of apples do you grow?I have Golden Delicious, Enterprise, and William's Pride. Those are all excellent choices for the home grower.
Apples require a lot of spraying (more so than any other fruit with which I am familiar). You have to spray the right things at the right time (and this is often inconvenient), so make sure you are familiar with the spray schedule for your area before committing to plant. Check with the local Purdue University extension specialist.
