Treasured Red Columnar Apple
Swamp Rose Mallow (Hibiscus)

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.

Swamp Rose Mallow (Hibiscus) has large white-pink showy flowers which attract hummingbirds and pollinators to your yard. It is a tall, fast growing perennial shrub. The flowers typically only last 1-2 days, but the plant will continue to rebloom throughout the season.

This hibiscus tolerates heat and humidity but does not do well when exposed to wind. Make sure the plant has access to lots of moisture for better flowering.

The Swamp Rose Mallow (Hibiscus) is also known as the dinner plate hibiscus because it can grow incredibly large flowers, as big as dinner plates.
