Apple trees are easy to grow and are available grafted on to a range of rootstocks, making them perfect for growing in any size of garden some can even be grown in containers. Choose from early fruiting varieties, which bear fruit in September and October, or late varieties, which produce apples in November. The early fruiting varieties don't store well and should be eaten straight away, while late-fruiting apples may be stored to eat over winter. Malus domestica benefits from growing in a sheltered, sunny spot, where the blossom will attract the greatest variety of pollinators and where the sun will ripen the fruit.
