Malus domestica 'Blushing Delight'

Blushing Delight™ has sweet flavor and a pretty red blush over a green background. It ripens mid-September.

Urban Apple® is a NEW category of columnar trees that produce their fruit on spurs along the main stem. Each combines disease resistance, flavor and ease of growing in small spaces. Each has a narrow upright habit, ideally suited to grow in a container on a patio or as a small tree in the ground. Trees grow about 8'-10' tall. Like other apples, you need two different cultivars for pollination. Most Urban Apple® varieties bloom mid season and all are a good pollinizer for the others.

They are each highly disease resistant selections from Dr. Jaroslav Tupy of the Czech Republic. Chill hours 800 to 1200. 

USDA Zone: 4-9

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • What is their resistance to scab, mildew and fireblight?

    Extremely resistant. The only common apple disease they are susceptible to is cedar-apple rust.

  • Are these resistant to cedar apple rust?

    Yes, as they are derived from McIntosh they have a natural rust resistance.

  • Can I plant this in a large pot? I have terrible soil where I live so I don’t want to put it in the ground.I was thinking of getting 2 different ones and putting each in their own big pot on opposite ends of the deck.

    Yes! They grow great in half wine barrels!

  • Do these varieties require Staking?

    No they don't. Under normal circumstances they grow upright without issue, but your soil quality and how they are planted is a factor.

  • how close together can i plant columnar apples?

    3 foot centers is the closest you can get without needing to prune them.

  • Will other urban columnar apple varieties be able to pollinate this one? Or, do the urban columnar varieties pollinate each other?

    They are all compatible for cross pollination yes
