Do you know about apple trees?

[Napoléon]

I had an apple tree at my old house. After eating the apples we had there, makes you realise just how flavourless and mass produced supermarket apples are.

And also try to look up an agent (I never heard of a tree agent).

Take a couple apples, some leaves and some bark (don't peel the bark too deep, or just take a picture of it) to your local nursery. If they can't tell you what they are, they can point you in the right direction.

Make sure it's a nursery. The home and garden section of Home Depot, Lowe's and the like won't cut it. Those people can't tell the difference between an apple tree and a plum tree. I know, I have a plum tree in the front yard (according to Home Dept) that produces apples.

Most apple trees that get planted in yards are not meant for apple production, but as shade trees. The fruit will often be small and too sour to eat. They make awesome jelly though, if you're interested in home canning.

I don't know much about apple trees at all -- and little more about horticulture, really -- but start with a good soil. That means, get some mulch together, start composting (eggshells, coffeegrounds, paper towels, vegetable remnants), mix the mulch and compost together to make fresh soil, turn the soil around the tree and work the new soil in, and then, yes, water it. Fruit trees need water to produce meaty fruit.

The advice about going to a nursery will probably be more useful, but hopefully this will help you a bit.

We need a pic of your tree Losty.

Beyond that I would agree with Rhythm .... water it, see what happens. You won't get any fruit (that is worth eating) until next year anyway.

Are you sure it's an apple tree first of all? If it is small then try watering it. It might not have matured yet. Most apple trees also need a second pollinator apple tree. I try to keep the small spindly branches pruned, as well as any dead material. Honestly, I don't try that hard. My apple trees have been here for decades. You might need to spray in case of blight/disease. Your growing zone might not be conducive to growing apple trees, depending on your location. Check that here:

If all else fails contact your local County Extension. These are the Ag department's local offices, usually run through state Ag schools i.e Texas Tech, Texas A&M, Purdue etc. They should be able to assist you. Find that here:

Throwing some pics up here would help, but I would contact your Extension for reliability.
