Growing Your Tangy Green™ Fruit Snacks™ Columnar Apple Tree
These columnar apples take up minimal space, growing 10-14 feet tall with wider branches. Plant them 2-3 feet apart for optimal growth. They’re disease-resistant and cold-hardy, making care a breeze.
Blooming in mid-season, these trees help pollinate each other. For a bountiful harvest, plant two different varieties nearby. Tangy Green™'s resilience against rust and apple scab reduces the need for harsh chemicals, aligning with the Fruit Snacks™ ethos of natural, easy cultivation.
Known as Malus ‘GreenCats,’ these apples thrive in full sun with moist, well-drained garden soil. Their versatility makes them perfect for container gardening, as a standout piece, or in your backyard orchard.

Questions & Answers
Yes, Arkansas Black can pollinate Tangy Green™ apple, assuming a few key factors line up:
1. Bloom Time Compatibility
For successful pollination, both varieties need to bloom at the same time or have at least some overlap.
Arkansas Black tends to bloom in mid- to late-season.
Tangy Green™ (a Stark Bro’s exclusive) also typically blooms in mid-season, so there’s a good chance they overlap.
The same variety cannot pollinate itself. You will need another apple variety with a similar bloom time in order for good pollination to occur.

So it gets tricky with the overlaping of bloom time, the reason some varieties have an early - mid is because they hold on to their blooms longer that those that are strictly early, mid or late bloom time. There is never a guarantee that this will be year after year it is possible that they will work by expanding to be overlapping if needed but as a general rule you should stick with variaties that bloom at the same time.
