Do you like apples? Yes, apples are one of the most popular fruits in the world with a sweet taste and contain vitamin B and vitamin C. Apples contain lots of refreshing water within the fruit. This led the whole world to develop their own distinctive apple.
Usually, the red color indicates the apple is ready to be picked, but sometimes the green color indicates the apple is ripe for picking. The type of apple that is most favored by apple fans is the red one. Why? Because the red color invites us to always eat it. But not all of them. There is also a sweet green.
Some apple varieties adapt well to cold temperatures in the highlands and mountains.Initially, the apple center in Malang was planted at an altitude of 700 - 1,200 meters above sea level with an air temperature of around 16o-27oC.
Currently, there are many things that you should pay attention to in caring for apple seeds. After your friends eat two different kinds of apples, you have to collect them. so that later our apple tree is big and ready to bear fruit.
The apple trees planted by friends don't need to be pollinated anymore. This apple tree can already pollinate itself without having to be pollinated again. But, after eating, do not forget to dry in the sun so that the seeds can be planted outside because it is not too humid.
Then, put the dried apple seeds in a container that has been tightly closed in the cooler or refrigerator. Then don't forget to set the cold level of the refrigerator to 4.4o - 10oC. Because all of that takes a process. When it reaches week 8 and the seeds germinate, at that time the apple shoots are transferred to the ground. This technique is commonly called post-ripening.
After the seeds that have been placed in the refrigerator are already there and rooted, the next step is to put the apple shoots into the pot. Do not make the soil in this pot carelessly, you know, because this pot must be filled with peat soil that has a neutral pH and added compost in a ratio of 2 (fertilizer) to 1 (soil).
After that, remove the apple shoots that you have cared for carefully, because at this time the roots of the apple tree are very susceptible to interference. In order not to damage your friends, cover the roots with soil and then give them enough water. Then the pot that already contains the apple buds is placed in a place exposed to the morning sun and also at room temperature (about 18o-24 oC). The apple tree will be watered regularly for 3 to 4 weeks later.
At this stage, the apple plant you planted has already put out some leaves. This is the perfect time to transplant apple shoots into the ground. If my friend wants to put it in the front or back yard of the house, make the soil in that place loose by hoeing it first. Not only that, by putting compost, the soil content will be better so that the apple tree can grow perfectly.
The hardest part is over. Now we just need to give water to the apple tree regularly, especially during the dry season. It may require more attention than usual. But remember, don't give too much air because the plant can survive in a humid but not wet environment. If the tree trunk is large, we can also combine it by means of cuttings. We can also fertilize apple trees with NPK, and it can be replaced every 4 months.
Usually, apples can be picked after 4 to 5 months after the flowers on the apple plant bloom. The apple plant itself will come back again depending on how you care for it. Sometimes there are around 120-141 days after the flowers bloom. There are also those that can be taken even after 100 days of ripening. Depending on the treatment technique, climate, and soil conditions used by cultivation friends,
When picking apples, you should use your hands because if you use a tool, it will be more dangerous to the condition of the apples. In one production period, one tree can produce as much as 6 to 15 kilograms/tree.
