The North Pole apple tree is a unique and space-saving columnar apple tree that brings both aesthetic appeal and delicious fruit to any garden or landscape. It has no branches but flowers and sets fruit from spurs on its trunk. The fruit is red-skinned, crispy and juicy and perfect for eating out of hand, cider and pies. The taste is similar to McIntosh in flavor. Ideal for USDA Hardiness Zones 4 through 8, this compact and upright tree is perfect for small gardens, patios or urban spaces where traditional apple trees may not fit. The North Pole Apple Tree produces crisp, juicy apples with a bright red skin and a sweet-tart flavor, typically ready for harvest in late Summer to early fall. In spring, the tree is adorned with beautiful white blossoms, attracting pollinators and adding seasonal beauty to your garden.
