Naomi Apple Tree

The Naomi apple tree is an early-ripening, low-chill variety developed for warm climates, known for producing sweet, crisp, and flavorful apples.

• Origin: Developed in Israel at the Volcani Institute of Agricultural Research, specifically bred for subtropical and Mediterranean regions.
• Chill Hours: Requires very low chill—approximately 150 to 250 hours, making it suitable for warm winter areas.
• Altitude: Performs best in low to mid-altitude regions, typically below 1,500 meters, but may adapt slightly higher with good care.
• Pollination: Self-sterile; requires a pollinator. Suitable pollination partners include other low-chill apples like Anna, Dorsett Golden, or Ein Shemer.
• Tree Size: Medium-sized tree with a moderate to vigorous growth habit and a spreading form.
• Harvest Time: Early to mid-summer, typically June to July in warm climates.
• Usage of Fruits: Primarily for fresh eating, but also good for salads and juicing due to its sweetness and texture.
• Fruits and Flavor: Medium to large apples with a red-blushed skin over yellow-green, crisp and juicy flesh, and a sweet, well-balanced flavor with mild acidity.
