It is quite easy to grow apple trees, though when it comes to disease-resistant and self pollinating varieties, such as Gala or Fuji, it is moderately easy. They need complete sun (6-8 hours), loose soil and frequent deep watering. Pruning in winter annually to keep the shape and promote fruit and regular mulching will retain the important soil moisture.
