QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question

  • When will my Akane Apple be ready to pick. There are apples on the tree, they are smallish and not entirely red at this point. It is a young tree in a reasonably large pot getting pretty much full sun. I am in Everett .Thank you.

    In our area Akane ripens mid September, but the exact time will vary with location and climate. It ripens much earlier in areas with an earlier summer.

  • Will the Akane grow in zone 7 and if so, what other types will it cross pollinate with?

    Yes, and it will cross pollinate with any other non-triploid apple in bloom groups 1-3. Check out our Apple Growing Guide for a full breakdown of apple pollination and your options on a handy chart.

  • Is it possible to obtain an Akane tree on standard rootstock?

    We do not carry it on standard stock at this time.

  • Does this Akane apple tree cross pollinate with Honey Crisp? And how many chill hours? I am zone 9

    Akane does not cross pollinate Honeycrisp, they are too far apart in bloom times. Akane requires 800+ chilling hours.

  • What is the Blooming Time ?

    This apple is a bloom grouo 2 - check out our Apple Growing Guide for more information on apple tree pollination and a bloom time chart!

Fast grower

I bought my Akane apple tree fall of 2023. It arrived middle of March 2024. I did everything right so it would grow. The following week it sat in the ground buried under 18 inches of a late snow that fell. By late summer, it had grown nearly a foot and had leafed out beautifully. We haven't had much snow winter of '24, but we have had Temps below 10⁰.
It is now mid- March '25 and the tree is starting to have leaf buds on it.
This is the best tree I have so far. Can't wait to see what it does this year.

A problem with the rootstock

We loved our Akane apples, and the tree was lovely. I have many photos my late husband took of the blossoms and fruit. But it blew over completely in a windstorm. Should I get a tree that roots more deeply?

Phenomenal tree quality

I’ve ordered from 4 distributors, and Raintree quality and packaging care was far and away the best. I’ll be a returning customer

Beautiful Tree!

My tree arrived dormant but started to sprout in less than 2 weeks. The leaves are beautiful, and I am not sure if this is normal, but I had blooms (a lot) and the smell was pleasantly fragrant ( I wish I could make it into a parfume).

Excellent quality!
