Choose a spot with plenty of sunlight and make sure to mound the tree up on the soil as apple tree do not prefer clay soils. They like well-draining slightly acidic.
When planting apple trees make sure you obtain two so they can cross pollinate each other.

It's super easy and drought tolerant needing full sun and well-draining soil. It seems to be a better bet to mound this up if they require well-draining soil due to the amount of clay we have around Jackson. Give it at least two feet to spread when choosing a place to plant.

This is a great plant to add to the garden anywhere you want to see pollinators and hummingbirds. Along with the show you can put it anywhere you want to enjoy it aromatically!
