Anna Apple Plants |Warm climate apple trees buy online

The Anna apple is a variety of apple (Malus domestica) that is well-suited for warm climates, particularly in regions with low chill hours such as Florida, southern California, and other parts of the southern United States. It was developed in Israel to thrive in hot conditions while still producing high-quality fruit.

Key Characteristics of the Anna Apple:

• Chill Hours: Requires only 200–300 chill hours, making it ideal for warm climates.
• Fruit Appearance: Medium to large size, with a yellow-green base color and a red blush when ripe.
• Flavor: Sweet and slightly tart, similar to a Granny Smith but with more sweetness when fully ripe.
• Texture: Crisp and juicy, excellent for fresh eating, baking, and cooking.
• Harvest Time: Typically ripens early in the season (June–July in warm climates), one of the earliest apples available.
• Pollination: Considered partially self-fruitful but produces better yields when cross-pollinated with another low-chill variety like 'Dorsett Golden' or 'Ein Shemer.'
• Tree Growth: Vigorous, semi-dwarf to standard size, and relatively easy to maintain.

Uses:

• Fresh eating
• Applesauce
• Pies and baking
• Drying

The Anna apple is a favorite among home gardeners and orchard growers in warm climates due to its early harvest, excellent flavor, and adaptability to low-chill conditions.
