Dorsett Golden Apple Tree

Get Bushels of Fruit in Hot Climates Most apple trees need plenty of cold weather before they can set fruit, which warm climates simply can't offer. But there's a rare exception: Our Dorsett Golden Apple Tree. Whether you live in Florida or Southern California, you can grow this apple tree and harvest a heavy crop of sweet summer apples each year . Pick a perfect pair – it's easy. Because the Dorsett Golden Apple begins flowering earlier than most apple trees, you have to plant another variety that flowers at the same time for cross-pollination to be successful. That's why the Anna Apple tree is the perfect pollen partner for Dorsett Golden – their early bloom times are the same! Plus, it's an early producer. Your apples will be ready to pick in mid-June to early July. To give you an idea of the yield potential from one tree in a warm climate, the test orchards at the University of Florida produced an average of 80 pounds of apples on young, 5-year-old Dorsett Golden trees!
