Anna Apple Tree
Apple ‘Anna’
The Anna Apple is a standout for warm-climate gardeners, proving that crisp, fresh-picked apples aren't exclusive to cold winters. Bursting into a fragrant cloud of pink-white blossoms in spring, it reliably sets a heavy crop of large, attractive apples without needing a pollinator. The fruit offers a classic, refreshing apple experience: a beautiful blend of crisp, creamy-white flesh with the perfect balance of sweetness and tartness, ideal for eating straight from the tree or baking into a warm pie. This versatile, self-sufficient tree brings the orchard to your backyard.
