The growth habits of apples:

Apple trees are temperate fruit trees that like low temperature and dryness. They require no severe cold in winter and no scorching heat in summer. The suitable temperature range is the annual average temperature of 9 to 14°C, the extreme low temperature in winter is not lower than -12°C, the average temperature in the growing season (April to October) is 12 to 18°C, and the low temperature below 7.2°C is required for 1200 to 1500 hours in winter. Successfully passed natural dormancy.

Apples can be cultivated in areas with an average annual temperature of 7.5 to 14°C. Apples have a longer natural dormancy period. If the winter temperature is high and cannot meet the low temperature required during the winter dormancy period, the spring germination will be uneven.

Soil has a great influence on the growth, yield and quality of apples. The main factors are soil layer, soil aeration, and soil quality. In short, apples need soil that is fertile, deep, well-drained, rich in organic matter, and slightly acidic to slightly alkaline.
