Many people are of the impression that apple dont grow in nigeria, well here's a affirmation by a nairalander that apples really do grow in nigeria.

"Many are of the believe that apple cant grow in Nigeria.But this is a big lie.Apples that are sold at shops here in Nigeria have been harvested before it gets ripe. This is because these fruits spends about a week before it gets to Nigeria.

Few years ago,i saw a apple tree at a family friends home.I was suprised and ask him how did it happen,he told me that he is an agriculturist and works at the state ministry of agriculture. He also said he will help me get one.I asked how,and he said the ministry has ordered some,which got rippen from south africa and so it will germinate.Unlike the ones we buy at shops here which didnt get ripe before it was harvested.

Fellow nairalanders,few weeks ago i have gotten mine(the apple seedling) and now i have planted and it survived.

Who says apples dont grow in Nigeria because of the temperature.Dont be deceived.Apples really grow here"
