Malus domestica or the Domestic Apple is a hardy, upright, deciduous tree with dark brown, scaly bark,oval, dark green leaves with downy undersides and shoots.
It produces lovely, delicate, spring blossom of white with pink tinges.
These mature to juicy red, green or yellow fruits.
Apples are not totally self-fertilising so another cultivar nearby is necessary for it to fruit.
This is an easy fruit to grow in cooler climates - in Australia that means southerly locations or elevated positions, as they do not like higher summer temperatures and prefer cool to cold winters.
