I'm just as confused about my Anna. It is about 2 years old now, and almost 5 ft. tall. It had quite a few apples last year, and I thought everything was going well.

However, it has not come out of dormancy yet, or perhaps it is dead, although the branches seem supple. My Dorsett Golden apple, planted last year has already set fruit and looks healthy.

I am in hopes that Anna is just a late comer. It did stay active for quite a long time, after cold weather set in, so perhaps it is just taking it's own time to come out of dormancy.

Anyone else having a problem?

Hi Provence,

I think you are just been overly optimistic, I bought an Anna apple tree for my mother also this year and it was covered with blossoms but they all withered and dried up and none set, and it was a 4-5 foot tree, and I dont think it can support any apples at this time. In a way it is a good thing because that gives the tree a chance to set its roots and use all its energy in growing new branches and get bigger, so next year your blossoms will bloom and be able to bear fruit.
But I myself have a 4in1 apple tree which I planted last year and one of the branches is an Anna, and I was lucky it gave me 2 apples. Now this year my whole tree bloomed except my Fuji branch, and the bees were busy pollinating my tree, that almost every blossom is setting fruit. So I have to start thinning it soon to get some big apples. So I just say take care of your tree and let it grow and next year it will repay you with a nice harvest.
