It is claimed that apples are a natural medicine for high blood pressure, are high in potassium, may reduce cholesterol because they are high in fiber and pectin \u2013 a soluble fiber that reduces cholesterol. Straight off the tree, they are rich in antioxidants, a flavonoid called phlorizin <i>(only found in apples)<\/i> and boron for healthy bones. Yes, apples are healthy, but they won\u2019t grow unless we take care of the trees they grow on.  [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.5.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221;]Apple trees blossom in April and May in a proliferation of white and pink blossoms. After pollination, apples are ready to pick in September to October, depending on the variety, adding to BC\u2019s fall harvest crops. They are easy to store in your fridge, cold room or outside before frost. It\u2019s hard to imagine a Thanksgiving dinner without apple pies, apple turkey stuffing, and apple juice for the kids.

Broken, damaged branches caused by energetic apple pickers should be removed. You will want to irrigate dry zones, so your tree is not moisture stressed going into winter dormancy. Now is the time for planting new trees because the soil is warmer than early spring. Young root systems become established before dormancy to get ready for new spring growth when the soil thaws and rising temperatures and sunlight push trees into bud.
