Description
Tangy Green™ Fruit Snacks™ Apple brings a Granny Smith-style bite to the smallest spaces: a slender, upright columnar tree that bears loads of crisp, juicy, tart, apple-green apples without hogging room or needing much attention. The round fruits grow along the stem and ripen in mid-September, ready for snacking and baking. Soft pink to white blossoms in spring are especially charming when trees are planted close together as a privacy screen. Cold-hardy, disease-resistant, and container-friendly. Bears in 1-2 years. Known as Malus 'GreenCats.'
A pollinator is required. Plant two different apple varieties nearby so they can cross-pollinate. Fruit Snacks™ apples bloom mid-season, so they pollinate one another well.
Granny Smith Flavor: Juicy, Tart, and Crisp
Tangy Green™ has a juicy, tart flavor that resembles the popular Granny Smith, with firm, crisp flesh that makes it a great snacking apple and a natural for baking. If you love a tart apple, this is the one to grow in a small space.
Columnar, Low-Pruning, and Container-Friendly
These compact, upright, dwarf-like trees need only minimal pruning, and the apples grow right along the stem. Reaching 10-14 feet tall with a slim profile, Tangy Green™ can be planted just 2-3 feet apart, which is why it works so well for a privacy screen, a row along a fence, a standout container planting, or a backyard orchard.
Resilient Against Rust and Apple Scab
Tangy Green™ is both disease-resistant and cold-hardy, with resilience against rust and apple scab that reduces the need for harsh chemicals. That fits the Fruit Snacks™ ethos of natural, easy cultivation: healthy trees and homegrown fruit without the fuss.
