Flowers very frost-sensitive – scab risk in rain.
Apple (also known as Apfel) belongs to the Fruit & Berries category and is suitable for outdoor planting from Early Spring onwards.
Use the Growing Temperature Sum (GTS) as a guide: Apple can be safely transplanted once the local GTS has passed the threshold for Early Spring and no frost is expected. GrowPilot.guide calculates the current GTS for your location automatically.
🗓️ Tip: Always check the 10-day weather forecast before planting outdoors. The GTS is a helpful guide but does not replace a frost check for your specific area.
Apple is frost-hardy and withstands moderate freezing temperatures well. Can be planted early in spring once the ground is workable. Ideal minimum night temperature: -1°C.
Apple grows best at daytime temperatures between 12°C and 26°C. Night temperatures should not fall below -1°C.
Apple is sensitive to mold and high humidity. Ensure good air circulation during prolonged wet or humid weather. Space plants well and allow leaves to dry after rain.
Rain sensitivity: High – Prolonged rain can cause damage – protection with a film cover or roof overhang is recommended.
