Wildlife value of Apple Tree — an unexpected bonus

I planted Apple Tree primarily for ornamental reasons.

Slow start but a stunning finish with Apple Tree

The first few months with Apple Tree were underwhelming. Almost no visible growth and I questioned my decision repeatedly.

Six months with Apple Tree — what I actually learned

I brought Apple Tree home six months ago with high hopes and almost no knowledge. The first challenge was understanding mulching around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds — something I hadn't expected to matter so much. Once I got that right, the whole thing settled down. I grow it in a…
