Apple trees will shed apples over time, the amount limited to no more than 8 dropped apples underneath an apple tree at any one time. When broken, the leaf blocks of apple trees have a chance of dropping an apple.
To plant an apple tree, you simply plant apple seeds on grass or dirt, a sapling will spring out of the ground where you place the seeds.
