My second Tropical Anna apple
I posted recently about my first apple. It was sweet and tasty, but clearly not without its flaws.
I picked the second apple on December 29th. It was huge – almost didn’t fit in my hand. It had a few minor blemishes, but was otherwise fine.
I cut it open through the major spot, and sure enough, there was a little tiny grub – easily cut out. I’m no expert on these things – is this a fruit fly?
The rest of the apple (like the first one) was wonderfully sweet. Now I’m hoping I get some flowers on the Pink Lady and Granny Smith tree, but nothing so far, and I think it’s getting a little late in the season to expect that.
Yummy second apple

Congratulations! I’m hoping for apples next year.
I’m hoping for more than 2 next year ;P
I don’t have an apple tree but its clear to me that I need one…(oh no I sould like my 5 year old – I NEED an ice cream mummy!) How exciting to be able to eat apples straight off the tree.
I really should have posted a photo of the tree too. It’s quite small, and I really didn’t expect much from it so early. In your part of the world you should have great success – high chill apples are possible.
No idea about the little visitor inside the apple, sorry. It is still a very impressive looking apple 🙂
sigh …. apples …. next on my list for the future food forest! didn’t realise there was a sub tropical variant …. but have seen the anna’s at daley’s in kyogle …. so i’ll be getting one or two!
Mine is a Daley’s tree – they are such great quality plants, and they always arrive in a fantastic condition!
Congratulations! 😀 That is really lovely.
Thanks Sandy.
