Apple trees are usually planted in spring. After the soil is thawed, the seedlings germinate. During this period, the later planting, the higher the ground temperature and the higher the survival rate (but be careful not to sprout the stored seedlings). Although spring sowing seedlings germinate late and slow seedling stage is long, autumn sowing can reduce overwintering injury and the survival rate is relatively high.

It should be noted that apple saplings have regional temperature differences. For example, in Shaanxi, apple saplings germinate in March, but in Xinjiang, they germinate in April, which affects the survival rate. So apple saplings must be bought and stored in autumn.

Precautions:

1. Apples like to grow in alkaline environment, and the soil can be improved to alkaline, which is beneficial for apples to absorb nutrients and improve flowering rate and seed setting rate.

2. Choose apple seedlings and transplant them into improved soil. Apple seedlings should be planted with large and stout stems, so that the survival rate of apples after transplantation can be improved and they can adapt to the environment more quickly.

3. The temperature of apple growth is not high, so if it is planted in the north, it is recommended to plant it in spring, not in the south, because the temperature in the south is generally high all year round.

4. After apple trees are planted, daily management should be strengthened, weeding and fertilization should be carried out. In this way, the flowering rate and fruiting rate of apples will be improved. Pay attention to spraying auxin before flowering to promote the flowering of apple trees.
