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.

  • 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.
