About this seedling
Apple seedlings are high-value fruit trees increasingly cultivated in Kenya’s cool highlands, prized for their crisp, juicy fruit and excellent market returns. For successful commercial farming, nurseries provide grafted seedlings that pair high-yielding varieties with climate-resilient rootstocks
Planting guide
Apple trees come in numerous varieties and growth patterns. Some varieties will be more suitable to your area than others. However, bear in mind that for pollination to work you will require at least two varieties of apple tree in your orchard
Soils should be well drained. Wet soils lead to poor aeration and increased incidence of crown rot in apples
Irrigation is necessary on dry soils, particularly when establishing and growing young orchards. Trickle irrigation and fertigation are increasingly used.
Mulch, weed and protect the young seedling as it establishes.
