How to grow Bonsai apple tree in a pot?

The apple bonsai can be grown outdoors in full sun or semi-shade , but roots must be mulched heavily to protect the tree from cold temperatures. WATERING:- Water the tree daily to keep the soil moist, but not waterlogged. Water requirements increase when the tree is in fruit. FEEDING:- Feed the tree twice a month with a bonsai fertilizer, but do not feed when it is in fruit. LEAF AND BRANCH PRUNING:- Remove leaves as needed to allow light and air to reach all parts of the tree. Prune branches to shape the tree in springtime, before leaves emerge.
