Our columnar lineup gets a fresh infusion of talent with these exciting new European selections. Dr. Jaroslav Tupy of the Czech Republic has developed the Urban Apple® series–a number of scab and mildew resistant varieties ideally suited for the aspiring orchardist with very limited space.

If you enjoy a tangy, refreshing apple, this crisp Granny Smith type should fit the bill. Tangy Green is one of the best for salads as it can be sliced for a long time before turning brown. With it's extra bit of 'zesty zip' it is also ideal for pies and other culinary creations.

Columnar Product Overview

Columnar Apples
These unusual trees open up intriguing possibilities, especially for urban farmers. With apples growing on short spurs, very close to the trunk, these hardy and disease resistant varieties can be tucked into tight corners where you’d never before pictured an apple tree. Try several in containers on your balcony. Consider planting a row of alternating varieties 1 meter (2-3') apart as a section of living fencing. Not only would it define the property line and provide a measure of privacy, but at the same time it would supply both you and your neighbor with apples for fresh eating, pies and cider!

Growing Tips

Apple Growing Tip

Besides selecting the most disease resistant varieties, there are
a few simple things to do to have better apples.

Fertilize under the outer edges of your trees. There are no feeder roots next to the trunk. A well fed tree stays healthier. (Adequate calcium in the soil also helps so that apples keep longer.)
Pick up fallen fruit and compost, dispose of, or feed to livestock (where possible).
Rake up leaves in the fall and compost them away from the orchard.
Prune trees to encourage light and air to reach the inside of the tree.
Provide bird nesting sites near your orchard. A variety of orchard companion type plants will attract native pollinator insects and also encourage birds to come and eat insect pests.
