Phantom Hydrangea vs Treasured Red Columnar Apple

Phantom Hydrangea is a striking deciduous shrub with impressive blooms. It is multi-stemmed and produces pale green flowers that fade to white and soft pink as they mature. These flower clusters can reach up to 15” (40cm) long and while other shrubs will droop from the flowers' weight, Phantom Hydrangea has sturdy stems that support them.

This adaptable shrub will make a beautiful addition to your yard as a flowering hedge or as an ornamental plant on its own. Try pruning the flowers after they are spent to get even larger flower heads.

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
