Do apple trees grow well in the San Francisco Bay Area?
Yes—many apple varieties perform well here when matched to local chill hours and microclimates. Choosing the right cultivar and ensuring full sun are key.

Do I need two apple trees to get fruit?
Often, yes for best production. Many apples set more reliably with a compatible pollinizer that blooms at the same time. Some varieties can fruit with one tree, but yields may improve with a partner.

How much sun do apple trees need?
Aim for full sun—about 6+ hours daily. More sun usually means better flowering, stronger growth, and sweeter fruit.

When will my apple tree start producing?
Many apples begin bearing in a few years, depending on tree age at planting, rootstock vigor, pruning, and growing conditions.

How do you handle delivery for apple trees in the Bay Area?
We offer local delivery options across much of the Bay Area. Delivery timing and access details (gates, slopes, stairs) can affect the drop-off plan—share site notes at checkout or message us before ordering.

Can you deliver and place the tree in my backyard?
Placement may be available as an add-on service depending on access and crew scheduling. If you need help moving large trees, contact us with photos of the pathway and planting area.

What if my tree arrives and I can’t plant immediately?
Keep it watered, place it in bright shade for a short holding period, and avoid letting the root area dry out. Plant as soon as practical for best establishment.

Do you carry low-chill apple varieties?
We periodically stock varieties that suit milder winters. Availability changes seasonally, so check current listings or ask for recommendations for your neighborhood.
