Treasured Red Columnar Apple vs Blue Boy Clematis
Malus x Treasured Red Columnar
Clematis integrifolia Blue Boy
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.
Blue Boy Clematis is a cold-hardy, fast growing, woody climbing vine. Hundreds of stunning steel-blue bell shaped flowers adorn the vine throughout the summer that droop and appear to hang in the air. The fibrous stems spread and create a fan-like symmetry shape.
This species will do best with support from a trellis, fence, or even other shrubs or tree stumps.
The Blue Boy Clematis was developed in Manitoba, Canada in 1947 by famous breeder Frank L. Skinner by crossing C. integrifolia x C. viticella, but it didn’t gain popularity until the 1990’s.
