Planting & Care
Your trees will arrive 20–34” tall. Trees shipped in winter are naturally leafless and dormant, ready to burst back to life with fresh growth in spring.
Granny Smith apple trees are partially self-pollinating, and do best when paired with other pollinator apple trees (such as Gala or Golden Delicious). See "Recommended Pollinators" for pollinators we carry.
