Columnar Apple 'Green Sensation' – 5-liter pot

Columnar apple 'Green Sensation' is the perfect choice for lovers of crisp, vibrant green apples. This compact columnar tree produces beautiful, bright green apples that are reminiscent of the well-known 'Granny Smith'. The apples are wonderfully firm, incredibly crunchy, and have a delicious, refreshingly tart flavor. The tree grows straight upward and takes up almost no width, making it suitable for any balcony or small patio.

The ultimate fresh eating apple, but also perfect for refreshing salads, juices, and baked goods that require a firm apple. Self-pollinating; it produces an excellent harvest even on its own.

What is a columnar fruit tree?

A columnar fruit tree is a special type of fruit tree bred to have a compact, vertical growth habit, similar to a pillar. This makes them particularly suitable for smaller gardens, patios, or even balconies where space is limited. Instead of growing into a wide tree, a columnar fruit tree grows in a tight, upright shape, allowing you to grow more fruit in a smaller area.

Tips and care:

• Planting: can be planted year-round. Prefers a sunny to lightly shaded spot in moist, well-draining soil.
• Pruning: very low maintenance. Prune any protruding side branches in the summer to keep the column neat.
• Nutrition: apply organic fertilizer in the spring for healthy growth and strong fruit set.
• Ground or pots: perfectly suitable for pots on a balcony or patio, though it will bear even more fruit when planted in the ground.
• Support: place a stake next to the trunk for support when planting.

• TIP: Because 'Green Sensation' apples are nice and firm and tart, they are less prone to browning after being sliced. This makes them ideal for packing in a lunchbox or mixing into a fresh summer salad!
