Stark® Emerald Spire® Apple Tree

Stark® Emerald Spire® brings something genuinely distinctive to the columnar apple family — green apples with a beautiful golden blush and a bright, tangy-tart flavor that stands apart from the red-fruited Spire varieties. This Stark Bro’s exclusive grows just 2–3 feet wide while reaching 8–10 feet tall, producing full-sized, medium-to-large apples right from spurs along the trunk. Patios, containers, narrow spaces, and planted in a row as an edible privacy hedge — Emerald Spire® fits where traditional apple trees simply can’t.

Full-Sized Green-Gold Apples in a Fraction of the Space

Don’t let the narrow profile fool you — Emerald Spire® produces real, full-sized apples. The attractive green fruit with a beautiful golden blush has crisp texture and a bright, tangy-tart flavor that’s excellent for fresh eating and outstanding for homemade applesauce. Ripening in early to mid-September, it delivers a satisfying fall harvest from one of the most space-efficient fruit trees you can plant.
