AboutApple Trees

Nothing beats an apple off your own tree. Picked at peak ripeness, a homegrown apple has a snap and sweetness that store fruit — bred for shipping and shelf life — simply can't match. Plant one and you're signing up for spring clouds of pink-white blossom, summer shade, and an autumn harvest that comes back bigger year after year. From honey-sweet eating apples to tart bakers and old-fashioned heirlooms, there's a flavor here for every kitchen.

Choosing the right apple for you

Two things matter most: pollination and chill hours. Most apples need a second, different variety blooming nearby to set a full crop, so plan to plant a compatible pair (or look for a self-fruitful type if you only have room for one). Apples also need a set number of cold-weather "chill hours" to wake up and fruit — high-chill varieties suit cold-winter regions, while low-chill selections are made for mild Southern and coastal gardens. Pick a variety matched to your climate and you're already most of the way to success.

They fit more yards than you'd think. Standard trees make a real orchard statement, while dwarf and semi-dwarf trees stay small enough for a backyard corner, a row along a fence, or even a large container. Give them full sun and well-drained soil, water steadily while they establish, and prune in late winter to keep the tree open, healthy, and easy to harvest.

Shipped to arrive healthy. Every apple tree is grown in our nursery network, inspected, and hand-packed in protective, season-aware packaging — and we honor the state-by-state agricultural rules that govern where fruit trees can ship.

Common questions

  • Do I need two apple trees to get fruit?

    Usually, yes. Most apples are not self-fertile and need a second, different variety blooming at the same time to cross-pollinate and set a full crop. A few varieties are self-fruitful and can produce on their own, and even those tend to fruit more heavily with a partner nearby. If your neighbors grow apples or crabapples, those can pollinate yours too.

  • What are chill hours, and why do they matter?

    Chill hours are the cumulative cold (roughly between 32 and 45 degrees F) an apple tree needs over winter before it will bloom and fruit properly. Each variety has its own requirement. Match a high-chill apple to a cold-winter region or a low-chill apple to a mild Southern or coastal area, and the tree will flower and crop on schedule.

  • How long until an apple tree bears fruit?

    It depends on the rootstock. Dwarf and semi-dwarf trees often begin fruiting within two to four years of planting, while standard-size trees can take a bit longer to settle in. Steady care, full sun, and good pollination all help the first real harvest arrive sooner.

  • Can I grow an apple tree in a small yard or container?

    Yes. Dwarf and semi-dwarf apple trees stay compact and are ideal for small yards, fence lines, or large patio containers. They produce full-size fruit on a smaller frame and are easier to prune, net, and harvest than a standard tree.

  • Which states can apple trees ship to?

    Fruit trees carry agricultural shipping restrictions that vary by state. Those rules are built into fulfillment, so trees are only sent where they are allowed to go.
