Choose Your Perfect Orchard Ready Apple Tree

Ambrosia Apple | Lives up to its heavenly name with a honeyed sweetness, low acidity, and a mellow, floral flavor that feels like sunshine in every bite. The medium sized fruit is blushed red over a creamy yellow background and is known for staying slow to brown after cutting, which makes it perfect for salads, fruit trays, and kid snacks.
Ripens mid-fall • Cross-pollinator • Great for fresh eating

Fuji Apple | Fuji is the heavyweight champion of sweetness. These apples are very crisp, very juicy, and intensely sweet, with a bicolor red blush over yellow skin that makes them as pretty as they are delicious. The flavor holds up beautifully in fresh eating, but Fuji also shines in baking and drying thanks to its firm texture and excellent storage life.
Ripens late season • Cross-pollinator • Great for baking

Gala Apple | A real crowd pleaser and one of the most popular dessert apples in the world. The fruit is small to medium in size, striped and blushed red over gold, with a sweet, aromatic flavor and crisp but not overly hard texture. It is a gentle, approachable apple that kids and adults both love for fresh snacking and salads.
Ripens early season • Cold-hardy • Excellent for fresh eating

Honeycrisp Apple | The modern icon. One bite and you get a loud crunch, a rush of juice, and a sweet yet tangy flavor that keeps people hooked. Fruit is large, mottled red over yellow, with a texture that stays crisp in storage and a flavor often compared to honey and sparkling cider.
Ripens late season • Extremely cold-hardy • Consistent producer

Kinderkrisp Apple | Kinderkrisp brings Honeycrisp crunch to a smaller, snack sized apple. Fruit is bright red, very crisp, and very sweet, with a refreshing bite that kids adore and adults quietly steal from their lunchboxes. It ripens early, often in late August, which makes it a fantastic season opener for dessert apples.
Ripens early • Extremely cold-hardy • Delicious dessert treat

Minnewashta ‘Zestar!’ Apple | Your bright, early season dessert apple with a little zing. The medium sized fruit is mostly red over yellow or green, with crisp, juicy flesh and a sweet tart flavor that often carries a hint of brown sugar or caramel. It ripens in late August to early September, starting the apple season in style.
Ripens early • Well-known classic • Consistent producer

Red Delicious Apple | A classic sweet apple, famous for its deep red color and iconic shape. The flavor is mild and sweet, with low acidity and a tender, fine grained texture that makes it a nostalgic fresh eating apple for many families.
Ripens late season• Extremely cold-hardy • Consistent producer

Royal Red Honeycrisp Apple | A redder strain of Honeycrisp that keeps all the things people love about the original. Expect explosively crisp flesh, a balanced sweet tart flavor, and highly colored fruit that looks stunning in the bowl and on the tree.
Ripens late season• Extremely cold-hardy • Consistent producer

Yellow Golden Delicious Apple | A versatile kitchen workhorse with a gentle, honeyed sweetness and tender, fine–grained flesh. It holds its shape beautifully when baked, making it a favorite for pies, crisps, tarts, and roasted apple dishes, while also shining as a fresh–eating apple right off the tree.
Ripens mid-late season • Soft white blossoms • Consistent producer

How Does Shipping Work?

Bower & Branch Trees, the real BIG trees, don’t fit in a box! Our big trees, sizes XL and bigger, require expert delivery and care, that means our extra-large trees are shipped on Bower & Branch trucks. We are the only ones who know how to ship our big and bigger trees and plants with tender loving care. We deliver your trees and plants directly to you. Ask Bower & Branch about planting services – we'd be happy to assist in installation.

*For Big trees and Shrubs, Size XL and bigger: Review our Seasonal Shipping Timelines and Policy here.

Your trees and plants are grown across the United States at various Bower & Branch Growers. Depending on your location, your plant orders may be shipped from various locations. Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.

Shipping Delays:

From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.

How Does Sizing Work?

The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)

Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.

All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
