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.A regular apple needs between 500 – 1000 hours of chilling [2] (aka chill units [3]) in order to get in blossom, but Anna flourishes even with less than 300 hours, so it can be grown in warm climates.

A few are described as "self-fertile" and are capable of self-pollination, although even those tend to carry larger crops when cross pollinated from a suitable pollenizer. A relatively small number of cultivars are "triploid", meaning that they provide almost no viable pollen for themselves or other apple trees. Apples that can pollinate one ...
Blossoms and leaves of the 'Dorsett Golden' apple cultivar. Dorsett Golden is a 'Golden Delicious'-like cultivar of domesticated apple and is descended from it, but is different with that it is early season, and most importantly, it needs a lower amount of cold weather (less than 300 hours) to go into blooming, so it is possible to grow in warm climates.
Annona squamosa is a small, well-branched tree or shrub [7] from the family Annonaceae that bears edible fruits called sugar apples or sweetsops. [8] It tolerates a tropical lowland climate better than its relatives Annona reticulata and Annona cherimola [6] (whose fruits often share the same name) [3] helping make it the most widely cultivated of these species. [9]
The result is an early harvest apple (early mid season), which is very attractive, [3] with a honeyed [1] flavor similar to Cox's but slightly sharper. [3] Its main use is for fresh eating. [1] 'Alkmene' flowers early mid season, with self-fertile blossoms, hence no cross pollination is needed.
Self-pollination is an example of autogamy that occurs in flowering plants. Self-pollination occurs when the sperm in the pollen from the stamen of a plant goes to the carpels of that same plant and fertilizes the egg cell present. Self-pollination can either be done completely autogamously or geitonogamously. In the former, the egg and sperm ...
'King of the Pippins' in Deutsche Pomologie. King of the Pippins or Reine des Reinettes [1] [2] [3] (), Goldparmäne, Wintergoldparmäne is an old cultivar of domesticated apple originating from France, and is still used in its original form as well as in many derivative cultivars that have been bred from it.
