    It really depends on the apple cultivar that you chose. Make sure that you consult the tag that came with it, or ask the nursery which cultivar that you bought. Once you find that out, you can get a more exact date for planting.

    Generally, though, if you chose an apple that is meant for your area, you can plant as soon as the ground has thawed out, thoroughly. You must catch it before the tree starts to leaf out for the year. Keeping indoors will be unnecessary, and could force it to leaf out early. You don't want that to happen.

    This tree is suffering from leaf miners, galls, and infections from infestation. Because multiple systems are involved, I would make sure to contact your local agricultural extension. This will, likely, end with the removal of the tree, though.

    I'm afraid you will get a bunch of waterspouts. If all the leaves are gone there is no way for the tree to produce food for the rest of the tree.

    The only thing you can do is make sure you take care of it properly with correct fertilization and watering to help it heal. Here is more:

    You can lightly spray with water to dilute the oil, but do not wash it all off.

    Though apple roots are not invasive, they will likely damage plastic. You could opt for a container grown specimen, though! Fortunately, this rootstock does very well in container.
