We have a few apple trees in our garden (first year, new garden) and
want to
store them.


Do you know what varieties? Not all apples are good storers, if you do
store them keep and eye on them.




They can store well in plastic bags (not tightly sealed), and with few
holes for ventilation. Bob Flowerdew stores his in an old freezer (not
working) - more stable temp and humidity etc. I guess.

I agree that the poythene bag method works well as long as you inspect
them regularly. It's most important to keep them away from mice, etc.
