There are several apple tree varieties available on the market. Many of the apple tree varieties also come in different sizes, depending on the dwarfing capabilities of the rootstock used. Most apple tree varieties are hardy in zones six through eight, but some will be able to withstand much colder weather, as low as zone three. Most of the apple tree varieties prefer a moist, well drained soil and need full sun to thrive and produce abundant fruit.
