V3 Apple Rootstock vs Treasured Red Columnar Apple
Malus x Treasured Red Columnar
Malus x V3
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
This exciting new Columnar Apple has an exquisite texture and a flavour similar to a McIntosh apple. Super compact, they fit easily into small urban gardens or along fences and decks.
Unlike traditional apples that grow on horizontal branches, the Treasured Red bares fruit on short spurs that develop along the main tree trunk. The bright cherry red fruit ripens in Mid-September, and stores well!
Note: We do not ship grafted apples to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The V3 or Vineland 3 Apple is a favorite of many farmers. This plant is an excellent dwarfing rootstock for grafting other apple species to. It is cold hardy and resistant to fire blight. This tree performs best with staking and regular watering.
This tree produces gorgeous white and pink blossoms in the spring. It is not typically grown for its fruit but can produce small red apples.
Expect an easy-to-pick height of 6 feet and a more efficient yield per square foot of space compared to standard rootstocks. Not recommended for planting in pots. Also known for its disease resistance.
There are anecdotal reports of dwarfing rootstock producing larger fruit and more fruit given the volume of the tree.
