If i feed my apple tree apple juice is it cannibalism?

Nope...In the wild where people aren't around to pick apples and rake up leaves, the trees drop all that material, it decomposes, nutrients return to the soil and are taken right back up by the tree.

But any store bought apple juice with additives won't be good for the tree in a large quantity.

Might be a little unfeeling and cruel of you. The apples that sacrificed themselves to be made into juice MAY have been the trees CHILDREN!! You insensitive lout.

All seriousness aside, what the soil student said was "spot on". Natural

apple juice or cidar wouldn't harm the tree but God only knows what sort of preservatives, coloring, flavoring and other noxious crapola is put into pasteurized (which would kill off any beneficial bacteria) store bought apple juice.

Better to pour it over ice, sit down in the shade under the tree and offer a toast to the Creator who made the tree to begin with.

Mazel tov.

If it is, then nature is a cannibal. When apples fall from the tree in the autumn, they rot and feed the tree anyway. I don't see much difference.

Are you serious??? Apple juice is water, sugar and a few extra chemicals. Why waste it on a tree, but it will not harm the tree and trees are not cannibals.
