I planted this “Anna Semi Dwarf Apple Tree” in my garden a year ago and this month 7 apples were ready to be picked. My kids decided something with a lot of sugar would be the appropriate celebration dessert for harvesting our first bumper crop. That sounds like farm talk doesn’t it?, “we harvested our apples.” I searched online for ideas and I have to confess, I chose a cobbler over a pie because cobblers are easy and fast! It tasted delicious, I only wish I could insert the aroma of cinnamon, nutmeg and baked dough on this blog.
Anna Apples grow great in San Diego County, they are crispy, juicy and sweet. They need full sun and grow to about 10 feet. Did you know that full sun means 6 hours of sun per day? Nice little garden fact for the next get together with your friends!
The blooms on the tree are incredibly beautiful, see this photo link- BLOOM.
This dwarf apple tree can be planted in a very large container. I have a variety of dwarf trees in containers around my backyard.

We have a dwarf Anna apple tree and it gives fruit here in the OC in July. Those apples make the most delicious pie I’ve ever tasted. It now has a second batch of really small apples, but they are too small to make anything. We read where these trees will bear fruit two times a year.

Mine did actually fruit two times this year and the first time there were only 3 apples. They are great for pies and tarts though. Maybe you could make some “mini apple tarts” with your tiny apples!
