Apple, a tree, is as high as15m, with a round crown and a short trunk. Branchlets are short and thick, cylindrical, densely villous when young, and old branches are purple-brown and hairless; Winter buds ovate, apex obtuse, densely pubescent.
Leaf blade oval, ovoid to wide oval, 4.5- 10 cm long and 3-5.5 cm wide, with acute apex, wide wedge-shaped or round base, rounded and obtuse serrations at the edge, pubescent on both sides when young, and hairless at the top when growing up; Petiole stout, about 0.5 to 3 cm long, pubescent; Stipules herbaceous, lanceolate, apex acuminate, entire, densely pubescent, caducous.
Corymb with 3-7 flowers clustered at the top of branchlets, pedicel length 1-2.5 cm, densely tomentose; Bracts membranous, linear-lanceolate, apex acuminate, entire, tomentose; Flowers 3 to 4 cm in diameter; Calyx tube densely tomentose outside; Sepals triangular-lanceolate or triangular-ovate, 6-8 mm long, tapering at the top, entire, densely tomentose on both sides, sepals longer than calyx tube; Petals are obovate, from 15 to 18 mm long, with short claws at the base, and are white and pink when not budding; Stamens 20, filaments uneven in length, about half of petals; Style 5, lower part densely gray tomentose, slightly longer than stamens.

Apples can adapt to most climates. It is the best choice for apple growth between 35-50 degrees north and south latitude. Apples need 1000 to 1600 calories and 120 to 180 days of frost-free period. Warm during the day and cold at night, and as much light radiation as possible is the premise to ensure good quality. Apples can resist the frost of MINUS 40℃, and if the temperature is between -2.2℃ and -3.3℃ during flowering and fruiting, the yield will be affected. Compared with other deciduous crops, apples bloom later. Thereby reducing the probability of suffering from frost. However, for some varieties and regions, the frost effect is more obvious there, so an effective anti-freezing system is necessary. It is most suitable for neutral and well-drained soil with pH value of 6.5.
