Anna apple is a dual purpose cultivar of domesticated apple that is very early ripening and does well in warm climates.〔(Anna ) at Orange Pippin.〕 Anna was bred by Abba Stein at the Ein Shemer kibbutz in Israel, in order to achieve a Golden Delicious-like apple, that can be cultivated in nearly tropical areas. As regular apple needs over 500 hours of chilling in order to get in blossom, Anna would flourish even with less than 300 hours, so it can be grown in warm climates.〔 Recommended for USDA hardiness zones 5-9,〔(Monrovia )〕 or rather 6-9.〔 Anna was introduced to the United States in 1959,〔 and is the most popular apple cultivar in Florida.〔(University of Florida )〕 ==Description== Anna's skin color is very much like its Golden Delicious parentage, red flushed (by fifty percent〔) over green〔 or greenish-yellow.〔(Willis Orchards )〕 Is excellent for fresh eating and keeps shape during cooking. It is self-sterile, and usually cultivated side by side with the Dorsett Golden cultivar〔 or by Ein Shemer,〔 all of which can be grown in warm climates and provide cross pollination for each other.〔 Anna does flower and harvest at a very early season, gives a heavy crop, and keeps fresh 2–3 weeks.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anna (apple)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
