To ensure success when growing apple trees at home, there are a few important things to consider before you buy an apple tree.

Zone Compatibility

Your climate plays an important role in whether an apple tree will be successful. Make sure the hardiness zone range of the tree you choose includes your area.

• Most of our apple trees grow well in zones 5-8
• Cold-Hardy Apple Trees can thrive in cooler, northern zones 3 & 4
• Heat-Tolerant Apple Trees are perfect for warm southern zones 9 & 10

Proper Pollination

Pollination by a different apple variety is key to the success of most apple trees. Often, its absence is why trees produce poorly or don’t bear fruit. Be sure to check the description of your selection to see which pollinators our experts suggest.

We do grow some Self-Pollinating Apple Trees, but we still recommend planting a second apple variety in your yard for optimum fruit production.

As a note, we generally recommend planting a Golden Delicious Apple Tree within close proximity of any apple tree, because it is an excellent pollinator variety.

To help you choose the right pairing, explore our Fruit Tree Bloom Time & Pollination Charts to find compatible apple varieties that bloom at the same time for reliable cross-pollination.

Mature Tree Size

Make sure you pick the right size apple tree for your available space.

• Columnar Apple Trees mature to be about 8-10' tall, but only 18-24" wide. This makes them perfect for growing in containers on balconies and patios.
• Dwarf Apple Trees mature to be about 8-10' tall and wide. Even though they are smaller, they produce an abundance of full-size apples.
• Semi-Dwarf Apple Trees mature to be about 12-15' tall and wide. They offer maximum apple yield per square foot.
• Standard Apple Trees mature to be about 15-25' tall and 20' wide. They are perfect if you have a large space or want a multi-purpose apple & shade tree.

When to Expect Fruit

Most apple trees begin bearing fruit in 2–5 years, depending on the tree size and variety. Harvest times vary by variety—some ripen in mid-summer, while others are ready in early to mid-fall. Be sure to check individual product pages for specific harvest timing.
