Treasured Red Columnar Apple

Pinky Winky Hydrangea is an adaptable and tolerant hydrangea variety with unusual flowers. In late summer, clusters of white blooms emerge, transforming to shades of pink and white. This two-toned effect is outstanding and will make a stunning flowering addition to your yard.

Try Pinky Winky Hydrangea in mass plantings or as an accent plant on its own, just make sure you mulch the root system to help insulate in colder climates.

Treasured Red Columnar Apple is a cold-hardy columnar variety developed by the University of Saskatchewan. The bright cherry red fruit ripens in early fall, and has a texture and flavour similar to a McIntosh apples. It stores well and is well-suited for fresh eating, baking, and preserves.

Unlike traditional apple trees that bear fruit on horizontal branches, the Treasured Red produces apples on short spurs that grow along its main trunk. This unique growth habit gives the tree its narrow, compact form, making it a perfect fit for urban yards and small spaces. The columnar growth and spring blooms also give it ornamental appeal.

For fruit production, cross-pollination is required. Apples need to be planted with another Apple or Crab Apple variety.

Note: We do not ship grafted apples to BC due to regulatory restrictions from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency
