The Dorsett Golden Apple is a special apple variety selected and adapted to grow in warm regions where other varieties of apple will fail. It produces sweet, slightly crisp apples that ripen very early in the season. The fruit resembles Golden Delicious, which is a parent of this apple, but often with a little more red on the skin. If you live in the South, Florida or Golden California this is one of the very few apples that will do well and crop reliably in your area. Now gardeners who live in warm regions can experience the pleasure of harvesting their own fresh apples straight from the garden.
Grow the Anna Apple in full sun or light shade, in most garden soils. Although a good choice for hot areas, it also grows well in cooler places, and is a top choice where you want just one tree. It grows well in most garden soils, even clay, as long as it is well-drained. Apple trees should be pruned correctly for maximum crops early in their life, and this also keeps the tree more compact. Although all apple trees can suffer from pests and diseases, this is a reliable and tough tree, that is highly recommended.
