Description
Apples (Malus pumila Mill.) are deciduous trees, usually trees can be as high as 15 meters, but cultivated trees are generally only about 3-5 meters high. The trunk is grayish brown, and the bark has fallen off to a certain extent. The flowering period of apple trees is based on the climate of each place, but it is generally concentrated in April to May. Apples are cross-pollinated plants, and most varieties cannot bear fruit by themselves.
Generally, apples begin to bear fruit in 2-3 years after they are planted. The fruit is usually red, but it depends on the variety. The fruit of the apple tree is rich in minerals and vitamins, and is one of the most commonly eaten fruits. The length of fruit growth period is generally 65-87 days for early-maturing varieties, 90-133 days for middle-maturing varieties, and 137-168 days for late-maturing varieties. Under normal circumstances, apples can have a life span of 15-50 years after planting.
