Dissecting the Essential Components To assist you comprehend what each crucial aspect entails, I've summarized how to correctly cultivate an abundant harvest below. As you read, you will obtain an understanding of the process of apple tree development; at first, it may seem overwhelming. Stay with me, and I will summarize at the end (in the highlighted portion). Agrarian Regions It has been shown that apple trees thrive in regions with moderate, snowy winters. A few outliers are shown below, but the majority of these plants cannot withstand temperatures beyond USDA hardiness zone 8. Nap Time Apple trees need a substantial number of yearly "chill hours" to break dormancy and regulate their growth. These trees need a short window of cold weather hours (between 32 and 45 degrees Fahrenheit) in order to survive. It might be difficult to specify the exact amount of cool hours, thus it is usually prudent to estimate them accurately. You may estimate the number of days that fall within this temperature range by consulting this map or by examining the winter weather averages for your location (generally September to April). 
You may also enter your address details into our technological calculator. A little patience is required, since the calculator may take a few minutes to get the desired results. There are several methods for calculating chill hours, each with its own pros and cons. Use these numbers as a starting point for designing your own landscape. Arrangements in Full Bloom The majority of apple types need cross-pollination from at least two unique apple tree kinds; thus, it is essential to choose trees that bloom simultaneously. These blooming periods are naturally characterized in a number of ways: The first group is pollinated by the second and third, etc. Groups 2, 3, and 4 function as pollinators for Group 3. Groups 3, 4, and 5 are pollinators. Groups 4, 5, and 6 function as pollinators. Groups 5, 6, and 7 function as pollinators for Group 6. Group 6 pollination of Group 7 Some apple trees are capable of self-pollination and may thus produce fruit without the assistance of another apple tree (thought this will generally help you to get a bigger harvest, in all cases). Cross-pollination, whereby one cultivar fertilizes another, is required for the fruiting of several trees. Keep in mind that "triploid" apples need three distinct pollinators to produce fruit. Only landowners with sufficient area should try to nurture these trees. 
Crabapple trees can pollinate ordinary apple trees, but only if their flowers bloom simultaneously. This one is a piece of cake! Typically, your trees should reach this height.
