Apple trees do well in a large portion of Iran
For planning, planting, and taking care of fruit trees you require only a few basic conditions to do well. For maximum production, fruit trees need deep, well-drained soil. A possible way to get around this is to plant the tree in a raised bed, a smart way to increase soil depth. Also, the fruit trees (like many other trees) need to be properly watered. Keep in mind that the buds begin to form the season before to fruit well. So you need to take care of them that prior season. An important term for fruit growers is so-called Chilling hours. Chilling hours is the number of hours in the winter when the temperatures drop below 7 but above freezing. Most of the fruit trees need a certain number of chilling hours to bud out. The number of hours varies with each variety and type of fruit. Please check out the average chilling hours of your area of residence before choosing from the variety and type of fruit. For proper pest and disease management, you need to apply an all-season horticultural oil before the trees bud out in the winter. Spraying does not stop here. You need also to spray fertilizers during the growing and fruiting season.
