About the Tangy Green™ Fruit Snacks™ Columnar Apple Tree
Meet the Tangy Green™ Fruit Snacks™ Columnar Apple – the solution for growing delicious, homegrown fruit even in tight spots. These slender apple trees from the Fruit Snacks™ line are a game-changer for any gardener.
Tangy Green™ trees are hassle-free with minimal pruning needs. They’re compact, upright, and dwarf-like, offering loads of crisp, tart apples without hogging space or needing too much attention.
Their juicy, tart flavor resembles the popular Granny Smith apple. The apple-green, round fruits thrive along the stem, promising fantastic snacking and baking options. Come spring, picture soft pink to white blossoms on these trees, especially charming when planted closely, creating a beautiful privacy screen.
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.
Grow your Tangy Green™ Fruit Snacks™ Columnar Apple for hassle-free, homegrown fruit in any space – a top choice for those craving easy, delicious harvests.
