alus domestica 'Tasty Red'

Tasty Red™ is a bright red, firm, sweet, juicy apple that ripens early mid-season.

Urban® apples are NEW 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 to about 8' tall. Like other apples, you will need two different cultivars for pollination.  Each Urban® apple variety blooms mid-season and is a good pollinizer for any other.

They are each highly disease resistant selections from Dr. Jaroslav Tupy of the Czech Republic. USDA Zones 4-9. Chill hours 800 to 1200. On MM106 semi-dwarf rootstock.

USDA Zone: 4-9

Mature Height: 8'-10' Columnar

Sun: Full Sun

Ripening Time: Early Mid-Season

Pollination: Needs a Pollinizer

Semi-Dwarf Rootstock: MM106

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Ask a Question
  • Do you deliver apple trees (interested in columnar apple trees) to california

    We do deliver to California 

  • What is the best columnar apple for southern areas? Our chill hours are in the 700 range.

    Most columnar apples require 800-1200 chill hours. You may need to consider a low-chill apple varietal like Early Pink Lady or Arkansas Black. 

  • Would this be a good pollinizer for the tangy columnar?

    Any apple in bloom groups 2-4 will be fine. For a list please check out our Apple Growing Guide.

  • It would be helpful for me to have some idea of the flavor of the apples, how well they keep and the texture of the flesh.

    This is a red McIntosh apple and has all the qualities McIntosh is famous for - sweet subacid profile, clean crunchy texture, and good storage times.

Their customer service is by far the most helpful and pleasant to work with. I ordered 2 column apple trees and the size and health were superior to other nurseries I’ve used.

Excellent specimen

I am writing this after I have potted the plant a few weeks ago. First of all, the plant arrived in excellent condition with roots fully developed. It was packaged securely so it wouldn't be damaged during shipping. It currently is growing leaves which I am so excited for. I am very happy with my purchase. Thank you.

Tasty Red Urban apple

The young, bare root tree arrived in excellent condition. I have planted it in a large container for the time being until we find the best location for it: our yard is undergoing some unexpected ground work at present. All is well, buds are expanding nicely. I can't wait to watch for flowers and then apples in the future!

The tree came with two others well packaged & in good condition. The planting instructions were very clear. I can wait to establish the roots!
