Apples in Hawaii

Hey everyone, part of this is blog is dedicated to gardening which I love with all my heart.  I am a fruit tree fanatic as I have devoted my entire property to growing them.  I have a a very small yard but I managed to fit nearly 50 plus fruit trees on it.  I have all types of different things growing like, apples, oranges, tangerines, bananas, and figs.  One of the pride and joys of my garden are my apple trees.  With the scorching hot weather here everyone says you can't grow apples.  However I have managed to grow three apples trees in my garden which actually do give me apples.  I have two Golden Dorsett trees and one Anna tree.  The Golden Dorsett is a beast.  My first year harvest I managed to get nearly 15-20 apples off one tree.  The Golden Dorsett apple is small in size, a little soft in texture, but it is sweet and full of flavor.  The Anna apple tree is a Jewish apple tree which bears a red apple.  It is not prolific as the Golden Dorsett and has only given my one apple which is still on the tree.  I am eager to try it.  All my trees are flowering again so I hope to get more apples this year again.  Here are a few pictures.


Here is a picture of my Anna Apple tree.


Here is a close up of the one Anna apple hanging on the tree.  Starting to turn red!

Here is a close up of a Golden Dorsett apple still hanging on my tree.  Just about ready to harvest.


I plan to post more pictures of my garden when I can.  I have a lot of trees in my yard.  To end this post, here is a picture of Pugnificent looking cute and cuddly.  Take care gang.

  1. Your apple tree's look lovely. We would love to try to grow our own in Oahu. Could you please let us know where we could purchase a Golden Dorsett?

  2. Call Pang's nursery. They will bring in apple and other fruit trees but only about the month of Feburary. They are whole salers so you must order them from retail garden shops. I got mine from Walmart.
