Apple, Columnar on M-7
Naturally small columnar apple varietes dwarfed by M-7 rootstock to about 8-10 ft. M-7 induces early and heavy bearing, is resistant to fireblight, powdery mildew, and moderately resistant to collar rot. Good anchorage. Very winter hardy, widely adapted. Disadvantage: M-7 is prone to suckering (prune or break off at least once per year). Trees may be held to any desired height by summer pruning.
Large, red-skinned McIntosh-type fruit is crisp, juicy and aromatic. Attractive, distinctive, narrow-growing (columnar) tree, grows to about ten feet. Trees topped for height control develop upright side limbs. Easily adapted to container growing. Estimated chilling requirement 800 hours. Proven very productive in trial with much less chilling than the estimated requirement. Pollenized by Scarlet Sentinelâ„¢ or other apple varieties.
