Why an apple tree is a perfect Christmas present for the gardener in your life
Briefly

A really great apple brings me an inordinate amount of joy, and the best apples I've ever eaten were picked right off the tree.
When it comes to choosing a tree for your growing space, there are a number of important aspects to consider, starting with picking the right size.
Most apple trees are grafted, meaning that the type of apple is spliced onto a rootstock, which determines the tree's growth and fruiting timeline.
If you're fortunate enough to have the space, you can plant two varieties that will pollinate each other, or check your neighbor's plots for complementary trees.
