Description
Add compact elegance and high yields to your garden with the Colonnade Scarlet Sentinel Apple Tree (Malus domestica 'Scarlet Sentinel'). This space-saving columnar variety produces heavy clusters of crisp, greenish-yellow apples with a sweet, refreshing flavor. In spring, the tree is covered in beautiful white blossoms, making it a showpiece before fruit even begins to form.
With a tidy vertical growth habit (8' tall by just 2' wide), Scarlet Sentinel is perfect for patios, narrow garden beds, or containers. Known for its excellent disease resistance and bountiful harvests, it thrives in full sun and well-draining soil. Hardy in zones 4–8, it requires a second tree for pollination. If you’re short on space but crave homegrown fruit, Scarlet Sentinel offers beauty, productivity, and ease in one slim package.
