Assuming you are referring to a young apple tree: <\/p>\n

When first planting your apple tree, water it deeply to help the roots get established. During the first growing season, continue to water deeply (about once a week) to keep the root system moist. Once established, your tree should be able to withstand long periods of drought.<\/p>\n

The answer to this question depends on a number of factors, including the type of apple tree, the climate, and the soil. In general, however, most apple trees need to be watered about once a week during the growing season.<\/p>\n

How much water does an apple tree need per day? <\/h2>\n

Established trees need only be watered during periods of little rainfall or drought. The best time to water is when the top eight to ten inches of soil are dry. Generally, an inch of rainfall every seven to ten days is sufficient.<\/p>\n
