Stark® Crimson Spire® Apple Tree

Stark® Crimson Spire® solves the space problem that keeps so many gardeners from growing apples. This Stark Bro’s exclusive columnar tree grows just 2–3 feet wide while reaching 8–10 feet tall, producing full-sized, medium-to-large red apples with crisp white flesh and a bright tangy flavor right from spurs along the trunk. Patios, containers, narrow spaces, and planted in a row as an edible privacy hedge — Crimson Spire® fits where traditional apple trees simply can’t.

Full-Sized Apples in a Fraction of the Space

Don’t let the narrow profile fool you — Crimson Spire® produces real, full-sized apples. The fruit is medium-to-large with deep red skin, crisp white flesh, and a bright, tangy flavor that’s excellent for fresh eating and juicing. Ripening in September, it delivers a satisfying fall harvest from one of the most space-efficient fruit trees you can plant.
