If a tree is planted correctly, it will grow twice as fast and live at least twice as long as one that is incorrectly planted.

Ideally, dig or roto till an area one foot deep and approximately 5 times the diameter of the root ball. The prepared soil will encourage root growth beyond the root ball and results in a healthier tree.


In transplanting, be sure to keep soil around the roots. Always handle your tree by the ball, not by the trunk or branches. Don't let the root ball dry out. Help prevent root girdling by vertically cutting any roots that show tendencies to circle the root ball.

After placing the tree, pack soil firmly but not tightly around the root ball. Water the soil and place a protective 3-foot circle of mulch around the tree.

It is my Arbor Day wish that we care passionately about our communities. That we build green and graceful cities. That we no longer build and neglect and abandon and move on. But that we first care for where we are. That we rebuild and restore, plant and replant. That we make gardens of our cities. Red Delicious Apple trees are not drought tolerent. check out the web sites on growing them.The Red Delicious Apple can be expected to grow in the zones shown in color in the arborday.org zone map....

woah, random much?

If you happen to mean 'are apples good for you', then yes they are. As for caring for delicious apple trees, maybe you should take this to another section.
