Grow-Your-Own Apple Tree Planner & Calendar

A grow-your-own apple tree planner and calendar for gardeners: choose a rootstock and a tree shape, find pollination partners, tick off a planting checklist, follow a month-by-month calendar of RHS-checked jobs, keep pruning checklists and a tree record, and draw your own garden plan.

Pages: 13 (including cover and credits). Sizes: A4 (210 × 297 mm) and US Letter (8.5 × 11 in), both PDFs included in one zip.

Printing: Print at 100% / actual size on A4 or US Letter. Inside pages use light backgrounds and print well in black and white; covers are dark, so start from page 2 to save ink. Fill-in pages (logs, records and check sheets) can be printed as often as you need for your own garden.

Every fact is checked against Royal Horticultural Society (RHS), National Fruit Collection, Encyclopaedia Britannica, National Trust and Common Ground web pages (checked 31 Oct 2026) and the sources are listed on each pack’s credits page. Blossom and picking dates are the National Fruit Collection’s records at Brogdale in Kent; facts that can change are printed with their date. Photos are public-domain images via Wikimedia Commons. Drawings, puzzles and layouts are REALLYBYTE’s own work. Not endorsed by the RHS, the National Fruit Collection, the USDA, the National Trust or Common Ground.
