Scarlet Sentinel Malus Columnar Apple Tree
The Scarlet Sentinel™ Malus Columnar Apple Tree is a highly productive and disease-resistant cultivar known for its upright growth habit, making it perfect for small spaces or containers.

Selected in British Columbia, it offers an outstanding ornamental presence alongside its generous mid-season harvest. If left unpruned, it reaches 8 to 10 feet tall and 3 feet wide, though pruning can maintain a smaller stature. It is hardy in Zones 4-8 and pollinates with any other nearby Malus variety.
