Full cultivation guide →Malus pumila
Malus pumila
Family: Rosaceae
Cultivation
The primary climatic requirements for the production of good quality fruit are warm summer temperatures, relative freedom from spring frosts, reasonable protection from the wind (especially cold north and east winds) and an evenly distributed rainfall of about 600 - 800mm per annum. Good apple production has been achieved as far north as 65°, whilst about 1,000 hours of winter temperatures below 7°c are necessary to initiate flower production. However good quality apples can still be produced in other areas with careful management and choice of cultivars.
