Planting / Growing Apple Trees in 3a
We have some land up north in 3a and have thought to plant some apple trees. We do not get up there often so the trees would have to somewhat care for themselves and would get water only during rainfall. The soil is quite rocky as well.
Wondering how well the trees would fair in this type of environment with lack of regular care.
What varieties would be the hardiest to plant for these conditions?
Anyone far north successful in growing apple trees?
