Dwarf Apple - Tropical Anna

$39.00 ($39.00-$79.00 choose a size)

Delicious crunchy apples similar to their cold climate cousins, Red Delicious, but only require a low amount of chill. On a semi dwarfing rootstock they are ideal for backyard plantings and container specimens. Anna will set some fruit on its own, an added bonus for small areas. Pollinate with Dorsett Golden or Tropic Sweet for greater fruit set. An apple best eaten fresh off the tree as they are not a storing apple.

I like lilly pillies in general as a screening, bird-attracting tree. This tree however is no screen with all leaves stripped by the possum. It is an ugly mass of twigs right now, and dosn't get any rest to grow back.
