The Anna Apple tree has a low chill requirement, making it a great apple tree for the South, especially for Gulf Coast planting. It needs only 200 chill hours to fruit. The fruit, red, sweet, semi-acidic apples, ripens in June and July. Once they ripen, these medium to large apples can be eaten fresh or used in your favorite home recipes. Anna apples also store very well, keeping for 6-8 weeks in the refrigerator so you can enjoy them through late summer. The tree has a moderate growth-rate and reaches a height and width of 20 ft. to 30 ft. The Anna Apple tree can be pollinated with the Dorsett Apple tree or with the Floribunda Crabapple tree. For planting, apples trees prefer full sun and slightly acidic soil. At maturity, the Anna apple can reach a height and width of 15 ft. to 20 ft. It is hardy in USDA zones 6-9 and is shipped in a 4x4x10 in. pot with a minimum plant height of 18 in.
