Golden Sentinel™ Columnar Apple Tree
Description
Enjoy the visually striking and conveniently sized Golden Sentinel™ Apple Columnar Tree. These vertical and narrow growing trees lack long branches but bear lush green foliage and sizable golden-yellow apples. The snow-white flowers bloom in the spring, then mature into a fantastic crop of sweet, firm apples that ripen in September. The fruit of the Golden Sentinel™ is excellent for making traditional cider, applesauce, and baked goods.
Renowned by urban gardeners, these slender apple trees are great for patio containers and smaller gardens. A natural dwarf, the tree will not exceed 12 feet. The Golden Sentinel™ Apple tree is disease resistant. Partner with an apple tree of another variety for cross-pollination and more robust fruiting.
