How Do You Grow Colonnade Apple Trees?
Colonnade apple trees are the perfect solution for fruit lovers with small gardens. Growing up to 8 feet tall, the colonnade apple tree is ideal for container gardening. Colonnades spend their energy growing taller rather than wider. These trees prefer a full sun environment and can be grown in either containers or soil. Colonnade apples generally ripen in September. Purchase two colonnade apple saplings from a nursery. There are many types of colonnade apple trees available, including emerald spire, crimson spire and maypole flowering crabapple. Fill your containers halfway with potting soil. Remove the colonnade apple trees from their plastic containers and gently massage the root ball with your fingers to break it up. Place the apple trees in the container and fill the rest of the container with dirt. Do not pack the dirt tightly around the tree. Water the apple tree thoroughly. Place the containers of colonnade trees in a sunny location. They prefer a full sun environment to thrive
