Gravenstein Apple

Gravenstein Apple — Specialty Orchard Tree

A classic aromatic, tart-sweet heritage apple favored for fresh eating and baking.

Can this grow in Orange County?

Variable coastal winter chill affects flowering and fruit set. Our microclimate-based orchard planning considers winter chill, sun, summer temperatures and drainage; a variety may be growable without cropping reliably every year.

Pollination and fruiting

Triploid cultivar; requires a compatible pollen source and is a poor pollinizer for other apple trees. Actual tree age, height, branching, fruiting condition and crop potential vary with nursery stock and training; details are checked before payment.

Planting and care

Plant in good drainage and a sunny location, with appropriate spacing, mulch, establishment irrigation and seasonal pruning. Dormant bare trees may arrive leafless. We can assist with design, irrigation, installation and continuing organic care.

How reservation works

Choose a container size to submit a reservation request. We verify stock, plant condition and shipping or delivery logistics before taking payment. Delivery and installation are additional.
