   Can you grow apples without pesticides?

   How many times a year do you spray apples?

   • In many commercial orchards, apples are sprayed 10 to 20 times per year. It’s not hard to find organic home gardeners who still believe it’s nearly impossible to grow good fruit without pesticides. Furthermore, most people probably expect organic fruit to come with a few spots or chew marks.

   Do apples need fungus?

   • All plant health starts with the soil. Since apples, like most fruit trees, require mycorrhizal fungi in, on, or around their roots, I aim for a soil that has a lot more fungi than bacteria in it. You can enhance fungus dominance by adding brown organic matter—such as leaf mold, sawdust, and woody materials—to the soil.

   How long do apples take to grow?

   • It’s required for the buds to break dormancy in spring. Most varieties need between 400-1800 hours. Apple trees prefer well-drained soil that is high in organic matter. If you’re planning to grow your apples organically (which we highly recommend), then steer clear of synthetic fertilisers.
