Anna Apple is Born

{ September 12th, 2009 }

The new tree in the backyard was born to the ground on Sept. 5, 2009. It was a half-off tree from Dave Wilson’s nursery (www.davewilson.com) for only $19.

According to the tags, it is vigorous, deep-rooted, tolerates wet soil, dry soil, and poor soil. An unpruned tree height of standard varieties is 18-30 feet. It creates heavy crops of sweet, crisp, flavorful apples even in the desert. It is self-fruitful, or polinated by Dorsett Golden or Einshemer.

It is a best apple for mild winter climates of southwestern United States, such as southern California. Winter chilling requirements are about 150 hours below 45 degrees.

Finally, this apple tree is a cross of Red Hadassiya and Golden Delicious made in Israel. It was introduced there in 1963.
