URBAN TASTY RED® COLUMNAR APPLE

(15 customer reviews)

$57.95

Our columnar lineup gets a fresh infusion of talent with these exciting new European selections. Dr. Jaroslav Tupy of the Czech Republic has developer the Urban Apple® series–a number of scab and mildew resistant varieties ideally suited for the aspiring orchardist with very limited space.

This firm, juicy apple turns bright, fire engine red when fully ripe. Enjoy them either fresh or baked in a pie. Even on the semi-dwarf rootstock these unique Urban Apple® trees will seldom grow taller than 3m (8-10') and with pruning can easily be kept at less than 1m (3') wide. All can pollenize each other. Any nearby apple tree blooming at the same time will do. Even a flowering crabapple.

Apple Growing Tip

Besides selecting the most disease resistant varieties, there are
a few simple things to do to have better apples.

  • Fertilize under the outer edges of your trees. There are no feeder roots next to the trunk. A well fed tree stays healthier. (Adequate calcium in the soil also helps so that apples keep longer.)
  • Pick up fallen fruit and compost, dispose of, or feed to livestock (where possible).
  • Rake up leaves in the fall and compost them away from the orchard.
  • Prune trees to encourage light and air to reach the inside of the tree.
  • Provide bird nesting sites near your orchard. A variety of orchard companion type plants will attract native pollinator insects and also encourage birds to come and eat insect pests.

Product Overview
Columnar Apples These unusual trees open up intriguing possibilities, especially for urban farmers. With apples growing on short spurs, very close to the trunk, these hardy and disease resistant varieties can be tucked into tight corners where you’d never before pictured an apple tree. Try several in containers on your balcony. Consider planting a row of alternating varieties 1 meter (2-3') apart as a section of living fencing. Not only would it define the property line and provide a measure of privacy, but at the same time it would supply both you and your neighbor with apples for fresh eating, pies and cider!

    The trees came in dormant conditions. It can be seen that they were taken very good care of, and wrapped very well! The trees are just in perfect conditions. I soaked them in water before planting the next day. Now, two weeks later, they are all leafing out and the peach tree even started blooming! The manual came along is very instructive and easy to follow, it definitely shows the hows in a concise and practical way. I could not say too many good words, am just happy.

    So far I'm completely satisfied with Whiffle Treee Farm Nursery and the columnar trees are thriving so far. To be fair with myself, I was a little grumpy about the price when I ordered but am happy now.

    Very pleased with the packaging for shipping.

    The apple trees are planted and have sprouted branches and leaves.

    I would recommend Whiffletree Farm and Nursery to everyone.

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
