TropicSweet is one of the better apple choices for North Florida because it has a low chill requirement and blooms around the same time as other Florida-friendly apple varieties. The fruit is sweet, mild, and low in acidity, making it a nice choice for fresh eating, backyard orchards, edible landscapes, and Southern fruit plantings.

This apple tree is a good option for customers who want to grow apples in the Florida Panhandle, North Florida, South Alabama, and nearby Gulf Coast areas. TropicSweet produces attractive apples that may be greenish-yellow with a red blush when ripe, depending on weather and growing conditions.
