Apple Trees 
The Apple will grow on a variety of soils, but seldom 
thrives on very dry sands, or soils saturated with moisture. 
A deep, strong, gravelly, marly or clay loam, or a strong, 
sandy loam with gravelly sub-soil, produces the best crops, 
and the highest flavored fruit, as well as trees of the greatest 
longevity. Always dig the holes large enough to receive the 
roots without crowding; if one-year trees are planted, cut 
back to required height to form the head; if two-year-old 
are planted cut back all laterals about two-thirds.
