Malus domestica

Malus domestica: Characteristics and Care

The Malus domestica, popularly known as the apple tree, is a deciduous fruit tree widely cultivated for its fruit, apples; it is notable for its rounded crown, spring blossoms in white and pink tones, and its medium-green oval foliage.

Its showy flowering and productive value make it a highly prized option for both home orchards and fruit-oriented gardens.

It requires a certain number of winter chill hours to fruit correctly; it tolerates different soil types well, provided they have good drainage.

At Ornacom, we directly cultivate each specimen, ensuring a balanced habit and abundant fruiting from the first years of planting.
