Apple trees usually reach heights between 10 and 15 feet tall and grow a trunk that is up to two feet in diameter. Their root networks often spread out as far as the top of the tree is tall. The tree’s leaf structure is a compound composed of five to six leaflets, with each one being up to three inches in size. Apple trees usually bloom in the early spring, with their blossoms being white, or occasionally pink-tinted. The flowers bear the early stages of fruit that will begin to develop by late summer or early fall.<\/p>\n

Other characteristics of apple trees are the gnarly and twisted branches that frequently appear. This is a result of their ability to spin themselves, in order to receive as much sunlight as possible. Furthermore, apple trees often have a wide growth canopy, which gives them the appearance of a large rounded shape. Apple trees also produce fruits that vary in size, depending on the variety of tree that is grown.<\/p>\n

Aside from the traditional apple tree cultivar, there are many other varieties of the tree that bear fruits ranging from the tart and acidic to the sweet and delicious. The apples produced by the different varieties can provide a much more varied and interesting taste experience throughout the year. The flowers and fruit produced by apple trees are enjoyed by bee, butterfly and other insect species. This leads to increased pollination and a healthier environment.<\/p>\n

Apple trees also produce a dark and bitter fruit kernel after the flowering period. These can be made into a flavorful nut-like snack that is highly nutritious and may increase immunity when consumed. The wood of an apple tree is very hard and was historically used in carpentry and building projects. It is a light brown hardwood that is also quite flexible, making it a popular choice among craftsmen.<\/p>\n
