🌱 Step 1: Choose the Right Apple Variety
Not all apples are created equal! For Bulgarian gardens, popular varieties include 'Golden Delicious', 'Granny Smith', and the local favorite ‘Melrose’. Look for disease-resistant varieties for easier maintenance and a bountiful harvest.

🌞 Step 2: Location is Everything
Apple trees love sunny spots with well-drained soil. Pick a place in your garden that gets at least 6 hours of sunlight per day. Bonus tip: avoid low spots where cold air collects—apple trees hate frost!
💧 Step 3: Plant and Pamper
Plant in early spring or late autumn. Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball and mix in compost for a nutrient boost. Water deeply once a week—more often during dry spells. Mulch helps retain moisture and keeps weeds away.

🍎 Step 4: Patience Pays Off
Your apple tree will need 2–3 years before it starts bearing fruit. But trust us—it’s worth the wait. Once the apples start rolling in, you’ll be harvesting dozens of kilos every season.
🌟 Bonus: Go Organic
Skip the chemicals. Use natural pest repellents like neem oil, introduce beneficial insects like ladybugs, and prune your tree regularly to keep it healthy and thriving.
🌐 Final Thought:
When you grow your own apple tree, you’re not just growing fruit—you’re planting a legacy. Your kids, grandkids, and every bird in the neighborhood will thank you. So why wait?
