Pollinator Self Fertile, but highly recommend a pollinatorIndulge in the pleasures of homegrown apples with our exquisite Anna Apple Tree. This remarkable variety offers a bountiful harvest of flavorful and crisp apples, making it a must-have addition to your orchard or backyard garden.
The Anna Apple Tree showcases beautiful white blossoms in spring, filling the air with a delightful fragrance and attracting beneficial pollinators. As the season progresses, the tree becomes adorned with a multitude of medium-sized apples. These apples boast a vibrant red skin with a slight yellow blush, adding a pop of color to your landscape. When you take a bite, you’ll be rewarded with a burst of sweetness complemented by a refreshing and crisp texture.
Thriving in USDA hardiness zones 6-9, the Anna Apple Tree is renowned for its adaptability and productivity. It prefers a full sun exposure, which promotes optimal growth and fruit development. Well-drained soil with a slightly acidic to neutral pH level (around 6.0-7.0) provides the ideal conditions for the tree’s roots to flourish. Regular watering is essential, especially during dry spells, to ensure proper hydration and support the growth of juicy, flavorful apples.
The Anna Apple Tree is a self-pollinating variety, meaning that it can set fruit without the need for a separate pollinator. However, planting it alongside another apple variety can enhance cross-pollination and potentially increase the fruit yield. With its early ripening season, usually in mid to late summer, you can anticipate a plentiful harvest of delicious apples to enjoy throughout the season.
This hardy and disease-resistant tree requires minimal maintenance and is well-suited for both backyard orchards and small gardens. Pruning is recommended during the dormant season to maintain its shape, encourage optimal airflow, and promote fruit production. Regular fertilization with a balanced fruit tree fertilizer provides the necessary nutrients for vigorous growth and abundant yields.
Experience the joy of growing your own apples with the Anna Apple Tree. Whether you use them for snacking, baking pies, or making fresh apple juice, these apples will bring a burst of flavor and satisfaction to your kitchen. Plant an Anna Apple Tree in your Fruitscape™ and relish the rewards of homegrown goodness for years to come.

Add a touch of classic charm to your landscape with the majestic Apple Trees in your Fruitscaping™ endeavors. These trees not only offer the joy of homegrown, delicious fruit but also serve as stunning landscape features throughout the year.
Apple trees prefer well-drained soil, rich in organic matter. The incorporation of compost or well-rotted manure into your soil can significantly improve its fertility and structure, leading to stronger, healthier trees. These trees perform best in a slightly acidic to neutral pH range.
A layer of organic mulch around the base of your apple tree can help conserve soil moisture, suppress weeds, and slowly contribute to soil fertility as it decomposes. Mulching also aids in maintaining a cooler root environment in summer and provides a degree of frost protection in winter.
Apple trees present an impressive diversity in size, flavor profiles, and ripening times. From the tart ‘Granny Smith’ to the sweet and crisp ‘Honeycrisp,’ there’s an apple variety for every palate. Whether you’re seeking fresh eating apples, varieties for baking, or those best suited for cider, our selection of apple trees offers an array for your picking pleasure.
Their size and growth habit make apple trees wonderful shade trees, and their stunning spring blossoms add an unbeatable visual appeal to any garden. If you’re dealing with space constraints, dwarf or semi-dwarf varieties, which are well-suited to smaller gardens and containers, can be an excellent choice. You can also try your hand at espalier techniques to create a living fence or wall.
With the added joy of the birds and pollinators they attract, apple trees are truly a delightful addition to your Fruitscaping™ journey. The excitement of watching your trees flower, set fruit, and fill with juicy apples ready for harvest is a rewarding experience that resonates with gardeners of all ages.
Embrace the art of Fruitscaping™ with Apple Trees, and embark on a journey from planting and care to the rewarding crunch of your own homegrown apples. It’s a garden adventure that satisfies both your taste buds and your love for a beautiful landscape.
