The Full Picture

Growing apples in the plains of Lucknow was once thought impossible, but with 'low-chill' dwarf varieties like HRMN-99 or Anna, it’s now a reality. Unlike traditional apples that need 1,000+ chilling hours, these only need about 100-200. The challenge on a terrace is managing the root temperature; the pots must be insulated to prevent the roots from 'cooking' during the 45°C Uttar Pradesh May.
