Why would someone ask on a forum?
- people are still better than machines and I'm betting that the search engine has never grown an apple tree - not a real one, anyway.
I bet there is more that could go on this list.

My daughter literally took my laptop out of my hands a couple of weeks ago when I was about to search for something with Google and switched it over to Ecosia (which I had never heard of) as my default browser. So far it seems to do everything I want it to do, and you get to see a counter that, as of this moment I am typing, says they have planted over 105.4 million trees. I'd rather support trees than shareholders :)

I figure someone wouldn't be asking on the forums if they had the skills to get a helpful answer from google.

Here's a link to a google search, the first link gives you what you want.

Maybe I don’t want to ask how to plant an apple tree, but I want help selecting and planting an apple tree for my zone 4, Midwest, cold winter hot summer, cedar apple rust and fire-blight prone, road salt exposed, clay-loam soil without using synthetic fertilizers or sprays for upkeep. People here on Permies will have suggestions for that. Try googling that. You’d need to look up most of those things separately and try to piece it all together. Look up disease Resistance, then look up USDA zone, then look up drought tolerant, and so on.
Obey! Obey this tiny ad!
