About the Anna Apple Tree

The Anna Apple Tree is a standout choice for southern orchards, especially in warmer climates like California. This hardy apple variety offers deliciously crisp apples with a rosy blush, making it a favorite for homegrown fruit lovers. Developed in Israel in the 1950s by Abba Stein, the Anna Apple is fruitful in areas with low chill hours, delivering a bountiful early harvest in June and July.

The Anna Apple produces large fruit with a yellow-green skin overlaid with a soft rosy-red blush. Its firm, juicy flesh is creamy white, offering a sweet, crunchy, and mildly tart flavor that is perfect for a variety of culinary uses. Whether enjoyed fresh off the tree, baked into pies, or incorporated into savory dishes, Anna apples provide a versatile and delightful taste experience. This tree is highly productive and often begins bearing fruit in its first year, making it an ideal addition to home gardens and mini orchards.

How to Grow the Anna Apple Tree

The Anna Apple Tree thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s cold hardy down to -10°F, making it adaptable to a range of environments within USDA Zones 5-9. This variety blooms early and benefits from having a compatible pollination partner nearby to maximize fruit production—see recommendations below for ideal pollinators.

Regular pruning in late winter or early spring will help maintain its shape and encourage healthy growth. The Anna Apple Tree is low-maintenance, resistant to many common apple diseases, and its fruit stores well for up to two months when refrigerated, allowing you to enjoy fresh, homegrown apples long after harvest.

Enhance your orchard with the Anna Apple Tree, a reliable and productive choice that brings the taste of fresh, homegrown apples to your garden year after year.

5 Questions
Why did you choose this?

This apple tree doesn't require as many chill hours as most. I live in the desert (El Paso, TX) and love apples.

I want a tree that will produce fruit with low chill hours and is known to do well in Middle Georgia.

Prolific bearer, blooms 1st or 2nd year. Have a Golden Dorsett that needed a pollinator.

Because it seems to be the closest to a Honey Crisp apple that will grow in my zone.

[Disease resistant to MANY diseases] How about Cedar/Apple rust?

I live in Zone 8b and bought the Anna tree last fall, so far that tree is doing great.

Is this the same tree as a June apple tree?

No, the Anna apple is not the same as a June apple.

Anna Apple: The Anna apple is a variety developed in Israel, specifically bred for warm climates. It is a low-chill apple, requiring only about 200-300 chill hours, making it suitable for growing in warmer regions. Anna apples are known for their early ripening (usually around June to July in warmer climates), crisp texture, and slightly tart flavor.

June Apple: The term "June apple" typically refers to early-ripening apple varieties that mature around June in certain regions, particularly in the Southern United States. It’s not a specific variety but rather a general term used for any early apple that ripens in June. Different regions might refer to different early-ripening varieties as "June apples."

So, while Anna apples ripen early and could be considered a type of "June apple" due to their ripening time, they are not the same as the traditional "June apple" varieties that people might refer to in certain regions.
