Apple Trees

Live Apple Trees for Backyards, Patios & Home Orchards

Few fruit trees feel as classically rewarding to grow at home as an apple tree. There's a long tradition behind it — the backyard apple tree that's been there for generations, the satisfaction of picking fruit you grew yourself, and the simple fact that homegrown apples, picked at peak ripeness, taste noticeably better than anything sitting in a grocery store bin. Our apple tree collection includes everything from single named varieties to multi-variety options for gardeners ready to build out a real home orchard.

Apple trees are a long-term commitment, but a worthwhile one — a well-cared-for tree can produce fruit for decades, making it one of the more lasting investments you can make in a backyard or large patio setup.

Classic Single Varieties

The Gala Apple Tree and Fuji Apple Tree are two of the most widely recognized and eaten apple varieties in the country, known for their sweet, crisp flavor and reliable performance in home orchards. The Granny Smith Apple Tree offers the tart, firm classic that's a kitchen staple for baking, while the Honeycrisp™ Apple Tree brings one of the most sought-after modern varieties, prized for its distinctively crisp texture and balanced sweetness.

Specialty & Multi-Variety Trees

For something a little different, the Tasty Red™ Fruit Snacks™ Apple Tree and Golden Treat™ Fruit Snacks™ Apple Tree are both part of a line bred for smaller, snack-sized fruit — a fun option if you want something a little less traditional than a full-size apple. If you'd rather get more variety from fewer trees, the 3-in-1 Apple Tree is grafted with three different apple varieties on a single tree, letting you grow a small mix of flavors without dedicating space to three separate plantings. For gardeners ready to go all in, the Apple Orchard option offers a larger, multi-tree planting designed for a genuine backyard orchard from the start.

Growing Conditions

All apple trees in this collection need full sun, with one notable exception: the Fuji Apple Tree, which tolerates full to part sun. Growing zones vary by variety — the Honeycrisp™ Apple Tree is rated for zones 4 through 8 outdoors, while the Fuji and Golden Treat™ Fruit Snacks™ varieties extend slightly further to zones 4 through 9. The Tasty Red™ Fruit Snacks™ Apple Tree, 3-in-1 Apple Tree, Apple Orchard, and Gala Apple Tree are all rated for zones 5 through 8 outdoors, and the Granny Smith Apple Tree shares that same range. This consistency across most of the collection makes apple trees a particularly reliable choice for gardeners in moderate, four-season climates.

What to Expect

Apple trees take time to establish before they begin producing meaningfully, and the timeline depends on variety, rootstock, climate, and care during the first several seasons. Multi-variety options like the 3-in-1 Apple Tree and Apple Orchard are a practical way to diversify your harvest and extend your apple season, since different varieties often ripen at slightly different times.

A Tree Worth Planting for the Long Haul

Whether you're starting with a single Honeycrisp™ by the back fence or going big with a full Apple Orchard planting, an apple tree is a genuinely lasting addition to any yard with full sun and room to grow. Give it the seasons it needs to establish, and you'll be rewarded with fresh apples for years, if not decades, to come.
