what types of soil are best for apple tree planting
Although apple trees will grow well in a wide range of soil types, a deep soil ranging in texture from a sandy loam to a sandy clay loam is preferred. Apple trees will not thrive in a soil that is poorly drained. In areas of poor drainage, roots will die, resulting in stunted growth and eventual death of the tree. Conversely, apple trees will also perform poorly on droughty soils.
