Variations in Apple Tree Planting Times and Varieties Observed Across Estonia Harjumaa and South Estonia present distinct challenges and opportunities for apple tree cultivation, according to recent observations at Silvi Lukjanov’s nursery on April 2, 2026. Blooming apple trees of different varieties were on display, highlighting regional variations in optimal planting times. A specialist from the Polli research center, Hille Tammela, confirmed that noticeable differences exist in the successful planting of apple trees across Estonia. South Estonia’s climate – characterized by warmer temperatures, a longer growing season, and shorter winters – allows for a more favorable environment for these trees. The soil in South Estonia, often sandy, also plays a significant role. Tammela noted that the length of winters and the depth of soil freezing impacts the timing of planting. These different varieties of apple trees are best suited to the specific conditions of each region. Recommendations for planting vary depending on the location, with considerations for both autumn and spring planting schedules. Research at the Polli research center focuses on understanding these nuances to ensure successful fruit production across different regions of Estonia, including Harjumaa and South Estonia. The research considers soil types, such as sandy soil, as key factors in determining the best apple varieties for planting.
