Does Apple Grow In Nigeria? by Omicron007(op): 5:36pm On Oct 02, 2021
Fellow Nairalanders,

I bought one small sized apple the other day for Two Hundred Naira.
After consuming the fruit, I began to reminisce on how I have planted apple seeds as a young kid and watered them every time. Sadly, none of the seeds I planted was able to germinate.

Growing up, I once heard that Apples cannot grow in Nigeria because the land is not fertile enough.

So, does apple really grow in this country?
Have you seen an apple tree?

Yes.

Grows in Jos.

But I believe it's not the same species as SA or Europe.

It's ok.
Lemme come and be going to plant apple in my deep freezer.
Hoping to reap bountifully by next season from my dear apple tree planted in the coldest part of the refrigerator.

Re: Does Apple Grow In Nigeria? by richmond500: 5:09am On Oct 03, 2021
OP
We have tropical fruits, these are fruits that grow in Nigeria or Africa.

We also have temperate fruits which doesn't grow here like green apples

Apple grows in Jos. Very sweet red Apple. Though I have not seen the green one. The climate of Jos favours it's growth cos it's a high plateau climate. Outside Apple, Jos climate also favours the growth of other exotic crops like strawberry, Purple garden egg, Red Potatoes, lentils,and lots more...
