Apple "Anna" 10L

Apples remain one of the most popular fruits in the world and are rewarding to have growing in your garden.

Anna apples have a light-green skin with a distinctive red blush and a crisp white flesh. The flavour is sweet with a little tang that is always refreshing.

They can be eaten fresh; or cooked or baked for a delicious dessert, sauce or complement to a savoury dish. These trees are known for their generous crop of fruit and are self-pollinated.

Position – Plant your apple tree in full sun for the best fruit yield. They can tolerate some shade, but you’re likely to get fewer fruits from them.

Size – Apple trees can grow to 12 metres tall and 9 to 12 metres wide when mature. But, it’s best to prune them yearly once mature to remain at about 6 metres. Ensure that you plant the tree away from external walls, electrical lines and other trees.

Soil Type – Apple trees are not fussy about soil type, but do prefer slightly acidic soil. The only requirement is that the soil drains well.
