The apple is a small trees, typically 15-50′ tall, forming a short crooked trunk about and a globe-shaped crown with spreading, crooked branches. They prefer full sun, moist to partially dry well-drained conditions, and fertile loamy soil. The cultivated Apple is vulnerable to many insect pests and disease organisms, although some cultivars have greater resistance to them than others. Dwarf cultivars are available that produce full-sized fruit on trees less than 10′ tall.
