Malus pumila Scarlet Sentinel

Scarlet Sentinel Columnar Apple Tree

A columnar apple tree variety, ideal for small gardens or in pots. Its fruits, small to medium in size, are red with a sweet and slightly acidic flesh, perfect for fresh consumption, sauces and pies. This cultivar is resistant to diseases and produces a regular harvest. Self-sterile, it is recommended to plant it with another variety of apple tree that flowers at the same time to ensure cross-pollination. It begins to produce fruit about 4 to 6 years after planting. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, avoiding excess water. Pruning is done in late winter or early spring, before the vegetation resumes. Remove dead or weak branches to encourage healthy growth.
